I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at University of Illinois at Chicago. I feel fortunate to be working with Prof. William Mansky as my research advisor. My main research interests lie in program semantics and formal software verification. I primarily utilize the Coq theorem prover, a tool that defines programs, specifies their behavior, and proves that programs meet their specifications.
Currently, my focus is on building techniques for proving the correctness of concurrent C programs using the Verified Software Toolchain and Iris. I also have broader interests in cryptography and security.

You can find details about my projects and papers on the research page, and my résumé is available here.
