About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University. I build systems for proactive malware prevention and scalable security analysis, including Windows-based Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems with kernel-mode drivers and automated pipelines for analyzing large kernel trace datasets.

I received my B.S. in Computer Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology, where my thesis focused on CodART, an automated refactoring system.
