Academic Fingerprint

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania. My academic interests include anonymity, e-voting security, eavesdropping and wiretap systems, operating system security, network and protocol security, wireless sensor networks, and network intrusion detection. I work with Professors Matt Blaze and Boon Thau Loo.

I try to keep an updated curriculum vitae.
