I am an incoming Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Mississippi
State University advised by Dr. Charan Gudla.
My research focuses on network security, Software-Defined Networking
(SDN), and Moving Target Defense (MTD). I am currently developing
CPAM, a session-aware SDN-based MTD framework that preserves active
TCP and UDP sessions during virtual IP mutations.
Previously, I worked on machine-learning-based software vulnerability
detection using transformer architectures and investigated the
generalization of vulnerability classifiers from synthetic datasets
to real-world software benchmarks.
