I am recruiting students for my lab at Louisiana State University! If you are interested in working on online trust, measurement, usability and Human-centered Security, please send me your CV.
I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Louisiana State University in the Division of Computer Science and Engineering and Director of the Scalable Security Research Lab (SSR Lab) .
My research focuses on online fraud and abuse across a wide range of platforms, with an emphasis on developing real-time systems for detecting, analyzing, and reporting emerging cyber threats such as phishing campaigns, malicious online communities and platform-enabled abuse. I take an interdisciplinary approach that combines methods from Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Software Security.
My work has been featured in several top-tier venues, including USENIX Security 2025, IEEE S&P 2024, NDSS 2026, ICWSM 2024, and ACM IMC 2023. Notably, my research on exploiting commercial Large Language Models to create evasive phishing scams was recognized with the Distinguished Paper award at IEEE S&P 2024. Additionally, my contributions have been recognized with two Comcast Innovation Grant awards in 2022 and 2024.
