I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manitoba, where I lead the Data Security & Privacy (DSP) Laboratory. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Concordia University in 2012, advised by Professors Mourad Debbabi and Benjamin C. M. Fung. Before joining the University of Manitoba, I was an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Computer Science at McGill University and a member of the Cryptography, Security, & Privacy (CrySP) Research Group at the University of Waterloo.

My research focuses on privacy and information security, with a particular emphasis on addressing the challenges of protecting health data. Over the years, I have investigated various privacy-related issues, including private sharing of electronic health records for analysis, protecting genomic data in cloud environments, and, more recently, generating synthetic clinical notes for machine learning applications.
