Sahil Bhola

I am Sahil Bhola, a first year graduate student at Virginia Tech, pursuing a master of science degree in Computer Science. I spend most of my week working as a Graduate Research Assistant with the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative (CCI, at VTRC-Arlington), researching the privacy protection and vulnerabilities detection in O-RAN Systems under Dr. Eric Burger.  I began my term as an international student here in August 2023, In a short time, I noticed a bunch of stuff. So, I decided to throw my hat in the ring for the GSA elections. As a president, I want to be the go-to person for students, helping them have a better time in college and getting the support they need. Being president means making sure students have a good experience. I'm hopeful because I've got a solid team in the GSA assembly – they're all on board to get things done and make our plans a reality and give back to the graduate community. Together, we're looking to make positive changes and create a better atmosphere for everyone in college.

If you have any questions or ideas about networking opportunities or student interaction and communication with the GSA, please feel free to reach out.
