I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Artificial Intelligence group at the University of Melbourne. I completed my PhD at the University of Melbourne under the guidance of Ben Rubinstein and Rebecca Steorts (at Duke University).

My research interests span machine learning, security and databases. Recently I have been working on identifying vulnerabilities and improving the robustness of machine learning in adversarial settings. I also maintain an interest in data integration and statistical evaluation, which was the focus of my PhD.
