Research Interests

  • AI for Cyber Security Applying language models and agentic systems to defensive security work.
  • Security Agents Multi-agent architectures that investigate and reason over security data.
  • LLM Evaluation Benchmarking how well frontier models actually perform on security tasks.
  • Incident Response Hypothesis-driven triage, enrichment, and case management.
  • Digital Forensics Automating evidence collection and analysis.
  • Reinforcement Learning Training and evaluating defensive agents in simulated networks.
