My research focuses on studying crime through the lens of computational criminology. I aim to model how exploitative processes unfold rigorously enough to intervene at the societal and technological levels. More broadly, I am interested in knowledge representation: ontologies, graph construction, and data models that faithfully capture real-world phenomena. I am currently a Strategic Research Fellow at Project VIC International, where I am developing the Exploitation State Machine for representing and disrupting non-consensual exploitation (CSEA, elder fraud, extortion, and beyond).

Beyond academics, I've had various experiences that have shaped who I am. I'm an Eagle Scout, which instilled in me values of leadership, service, and perseverance. I also played water polo, traveled the country camping and practicing jiu jitsu, and was the captain of my middle and high school robotics team, Tacobots. I'm also an avid Mixed Martial Arts practitioner :)
