Among all the places in the world, you chose to be here, and I would like to extend the warmest welcome to my blog. My name is Priscilla, and I believe that should suffice for now.
After the unfortunate rejection email from University of Toronto and University of Waterloo, Stony Brook University welcomed me open arms and this begins my thriving doctoral studies. Presently, I am undertaking my doctoral studies in Computer Science at Stony Brook University in New York, USA. In my doctoral studies, guided by my current advisor, I am focusing on research in privacy compliance, formal verification and a hint large language models (which I hope to document if procrastination doesn’t get best of me).
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.
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 😟,
- crocheting 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.
