Welcome!

I am currently a PhD student in the Computer Science Department of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) under the supervision of Prof. Fabian Monrose. My research interests include network and distributed system security, privacy and anonymity, applied cryptography, and machine learning.

I had the good fortune to spend the summer of 2010 working with Vinod Yegneswaran and Phillip Porras in the Computer Science Laboratory at SRI, International. In the fall of 2010, I served as Proceedings Chair for the 18th Annual Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS '11).

In 2008, I received a B.S. in Computer Science (with honors) and a B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Richmond, where I had the privilege to work with Prof. Barry Lawson, Prof. Doug Szajda, and Prof. Arthur Charlesworth on various projects. In addition, I was awarded (with Yuri Dogandjiev) the 2008 Mary Church Kent and Joseph F. Kent Computer Science Prize. I spent the fall and winter of 2006 in Scotland, studying at the University of St Andrews.
