I am a PhD student (since 2021) at Northeastern University. My advisor is Stavros Tripakis. My primary research focus is the automatic generation of correct-by-construction systems from high-level specifications (synthesis). In the past this focus has included verified lexer generation. More recently it has been directed toward the synthesis of distributed protocols. Before coming to Northeastern, I completed my BS in Computer Science and Mathematics at Tufts University.
