Research Assistant — Cybersecurity AI @ Indiana University, Kelley School of Business
- Building a hierarchical LLM + RL red team adversary for autonomous penetration testing in the CybORG CAGE Challenge 4 enterprise network (9 subnets, 1 red vs 5 blue defenders + 48 green agents)
- Designed a 3-layer reward shaping system (negated opponent rewards + milestone bonuses + prerequisite penalties) to enable RL training from zero environment signal
- Evaluated 13 LLMs (0.6B–70B) across 4 inference backends on NVIDIA H100 GPUs - found that no LLM achieves meaningful attack success zero-shot, and model size does not correlate with performance
- PPO with action masking | vLLM | Curriculum learning | SLURM/HPC on Big Red 200
- Presenting at SPIE Defense + Security 2026 - April 2026, National Harbor, MD
