About me

Howdy!

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science under the supervision of Prof. Nitesh Saxena at the SPIES Lab, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA.

My broader research interests lie in wireless and mobile security. My recent work focuses on wireless and mobile security, including the detection and measurement of attacks in modern Wi-Fi and 5G systems. In Wi-Fi networks, I study endpoint-based methods for identifying rogue access points and evil twin attacks by combining wireless management events, network-path behavior, and application-layer metadata. In 5G systems, I investigate the passive detectability of pre-authentication downlink injection attacks, with the goal of determining when attack artifacts can be reliably observed, when they may be confused with benign failures, and which cases remain inherently ambiguous. More broadly, my research aims to develop practical, measurement-driven security mechanisms that improve the robustness of emerging wireless systems under realistic deployment constraints.

I have published papers in well-known security venues like USENIX Security. In addition, I also have several projects currently in progress, with planned submissions to leading conferences and journals.
