Research & Publications

Research on the effectiveness of traffic fingerprinting methods for identifying different LLM browser services and broader LLM traffic in encrypted networks. The project was initially written for CS 7457 and later developed for submission to IMC 26.

Exploration of time-based traffic obfuscation techniques for mitigating LLM traffic fingerprinting attacks. The paper evaluates methods inspired by TRACE-LLM and finds that single feature-class obfuscation was ineffective, suggesting future work should alter more than one feature class at a time.

Privacy analysis of the LLMTor services, which aims to decouple identity from LLM prompting within the anonymity set of LLMTor users. My contribution focused on constructing the local modeling pipeline and building the experimental simulation used for evaluation.

Exploration of a multi-agent LLM system for probing network endpoints and constructing protocol grammars for fuzzing campaigns. The project was completed under a very restrictive timeframe, which constrained the depth of the final system but still demonstrated the promise of iterative protocol extraction.

A StoryMap built during my time as a Sustainability Site Intern, developed across two semesters alongside regular work for the Office for Sustainability. It highlights key UVA sustainability stops including the Rotunda, Student Garden, green buildings, transportation, and waste diversion efforts.

A wearable sensing pipeline I built with fellow UVA students to encourage better brushing habits. Using integrated smartwatch accelerometer data, sequential feature selection, and a J48 decision tree ported to cascading if-else logic on an Asus ZenWatch, the system identifies brushing intervals with 97% accuracy and triggers positive reinforcement plus reminders.

Research done through the George Mason University Aspiring Scientists Summer Internship Program (ASSIP) in the summer of 2023. I worked in the Developer Experience Research Lab during the advent of public LLMs, researching how they could be integrated into software that took videos of web app behavior and proposed debugging hypotheses.

My 2024 case study outlines UVA's Race to Zero Waste strategy, focused on zero-waste Green Games that expanded composting and volunteer engagement. Over 66,000 lbs of waste were diverted through the dedication of hardworking staff, volunteers from student organizations, and local residents.

My article highlights the UVA Student Garden, which is a community garden dedicated towards fighting food insecurity through sustainable practices like rainwater collection and composting, as well as the community space that it creates.

UVA hosted 10 Green Games in the 2023–24 athletic season with community volunteers diverting over 66,000 lbs of waste. The initiative earned GFL's $6,000 award and a Virginia Green Travel Star Award for Most Innovative Project.

Co-authored with Aliza Diop, this article detailes how the Paris 2024 Olympics demonstrated a larger trend towards sustainability in collegiate and professional sports.
