About Me

I am a PhD Candidate at the University of British Columbia, Canada. I am part of the Systopia Lab (Systems Research Group) and the Security & Privacy Research Group, where we work broadly on systems and security research. I am currently working under the supervison of Prof. Thomas Pasquier on improving the safety of kernel extensions such as device drivers and eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) programs. I am also interested in implementing new use cases for eBPF.
