About Me

I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Old Dominion University, with a joint appointment in the School of Cybersecurity. I joined ODU in July 2025 as part of its Trustworthy AI cluster hire.

My work centers on security, robustness, and trustworthy applications of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). Current themes include adversarial robustness, prompt optimization, secure source-code generation, hardware design automation, Internet and IoT security, deepfake detection, and security of emerging agentic AI systems.
