Among all the places in the world, you’ve chosen to be here, and I extend a warm welcome to my blog.
As you may have presumed from my URL, my name is Priscilla Danso with a middle name I probably use for academic purposes.
Presently, I am undertaking my doctoral studies in Computer Science at Stony Brook University in New York, USA. Prior to this, I successfully completed my graduate studies in Computer Science at the University of New Brunswick, Canada, in May 2023. During my time pursuing my graduate studies, I served as a Graduate Research Assistant at the Canadian Institute of Cybersecurity. My research interests span the Internet of Things (IoT), Anomaly Detection, and the broader realm of Security. In my doctoral studies, guided by my current advisor, I am focusing on research in Formal Verification and its associated formal methods.
Before stepping onto the academic ladder, I had the privilege of serving as a Data Analyst with the United Nations World Food Programme and interning at Ernst and Young. Additionally, I got the opportunity to work with two Financial Technology companies in my home country, Ghana. Each of these experiences has played a crucial role in shaping and molding me into the woman I am today.

When I’m not in front of a computer screen, I’m probably;
- researching or reading,
- exploring any of the budget-friendly places on my bucket list,
- writing or journaling,
- (DIY)ing anything that fascinates me but haven’t done in while 😟,
- knitting which I love,
- exploring some good eatery (because I ❤️ food),
- watching a TV show,
- finding the most convenient song to add to my “songs to scream while driving” playlist,
- having an intimate time with my bed and duvet.
