Welcome

I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Penn State University, where I am a member of the Systems and Internet Infrastructure Security (SIIS) Lab. I am currently advised by Dr. Trent Jaeger.

My current research focus is on secure computing and building trusted systems. To that end, I have been investigating ways of using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to report information flow policies and establish trust between machines on an Internet scale. I am also researching location based security policies. During my undergraduate program, I explored various research topics such as Artificial Intelligence and Spatial Databases.

I'm going to USENIX Security '08
