About Me

I am a Ph. D candidate in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Penn State University. I belong to the Networking and Security Research Center and the Cyber Security Lab. My dissertation is advised by Dr. Tom LaPorta and Dr. Peng Liu.

My dissertation assesses the security of mobile telecommunication networks. Specifically, we quantify the current state of security of the mobile telecommunication network, and determine the network characteristics that must be changed to render the network more secure.

Our work is the first comprehensive security assessment of the mobile telecommunication network and has been used as a major input to the Vulnerabilities Threat Modeling Working Group of the Next Generation Networks Task Force of the Presidents National Security Telecommunications Advisory Panel.
