Research interests
I'm currently pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science at UC Santa Cruz, where I'm involved in cybersecurity research. My interests focus on understanding security issues in real-world systems and developing approaches to make technology safer and more secure.
Log Classification and Attack Detection
I work under the mentorship of Sergio Valderrama, a Ph.D. student advised by Professor Álvaro Cárdenas. This project explores approaches for log classification and attack detection.
- Lead a team of three student researchers.
- Coordinate research activities and technical development.
- Collaborate with another graduate student to develop and evaluate approaches for log classification and attack detection.
Network Traffic Anonymization
I'm working with Professor Ram Sundara Raman at UC Santa Cruz to explore methods for anonymizing network traffic while preserving its usefulness for security analysis. This work considers industrial control system (ICS/SCADA) protocols and the challenges of anonymizing protocol-specific information.
