I am a Master of Engineering (MEng) student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto. I completed my Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Computer Engineering at Queen’s University in May 2025.

My current research focuses on developing an explainable network intrusion detection system (X-NIDS) for power grid environments. In particular, I am interested in how Explainable AI (XAI) methods can be integrated into intrusion detection systems to help both technical and non-technical users better understand model predictions and use trustworthy AI to monitor substation network traffic.

Outside of academics, I am a big fan of ramen and enjoy trying different ramen restaurants.
