I finished my PhD in Computer Science at CMU, where I was advised by Matt Fredrikson. My research was on privacy and fairness issues in machine learning. Prior to that, I studied math and computer science at MIT.
My last name is pronounced like the word "yum" (IPA: [jʌm]).

I was a TA for two courses at CMU:
I was an Officer in Puzzle Hunt CMU, which is a student club that runs a puzzle hunt every semester. Of the puzzles that I wrote, some of my favorites are:
