I graduated with a PhD in Computer Engineering from Arizona State University in 2018. I was a member of Cyber-Socio Intelligent Systems Laboratory (CySIS) lab led by Dr. Paulo Shakarian. My research covered topics from Cyber Security and Artificial Intelligence, mostly from data-driven perspectives. In particular three areas: Argumentation models for attribution, data-driven cognitive models for malware analysis, cyber threat intelligence gathering and analysis from darkweb using data mining techniques.

I obtained my Masters in Electrical Engineering from Syracuse University in 2012. I received my Bachelor degree in Electronics from University of Mumbai in 2010. I have worked as a Research Associate at Dartmouth College. My mentor was Dr. Richard Granger.
