I am seeking a tenure-track Assistant Professor position where I can develop student-centered teaching, build an independent and externally funded research program that extends my work to lead impactful, interdisciplinary research, mentor future technology scholars, and advance the state-of-the-art technology and science. I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at Colorado State University (CSU), working under the mentorship of Prof. Indrajit Ray. My research focuses on the AI-driven security & resiliency posture analysis of Cyber-Physical Systems, vulnerability management, and developing explainable and instructable AI based practical tools. Having contributed to funded projects supported by ONR, NSF, and DOE as a graduate researcher, I am positioned to pursue independent grant funding early in a faculty career. My approach to teaching is grounded in active-learning methods and building a hands-on curriculum in AI and security while mentoring the next generation of researchers and professionals in the field.
