About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick.

My research focuses on understanding and tackling security challenges in emerging computational systems. I study how new system architectures create novel security, trust, and incentive problems, and develop principled methods to analyze and address them. Across these domains, I am interested in both uncovering new vulnerabilities and designing practical defenses, combining rigorous systems and security research with AI-based techniques for analyzing, protecting, and optimizing complex systems.

A major part of my work investigates decentralized systems such as blockchains and DeFi, drawing on distributed systems, applied cryptography, confidential computing, game theory, and mechanism design to understand their security and incentive structures. I also increasingly study AI-driven and agentic systems, including the security risks that arise when autonomous agents interact with software, users, markets, and one another.

Ultimately, my goal is to understand the security foundations of emerging technologies and translate that understanding into practical tools and mechanisms that make future digital infrastructure more secure, trustworthy, and robust.
