ABOUT ME
I am a Ph.D candidate in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Massachussets working with Prof. Brian Levine. My research interests lie at the intersection of security, forensics, and the law.
Previously, I studied at The University of Texas at Arlington under the direction of Prof. Matthew Wright. While there I focused on network security and was awarded the CSE Outstanding Master’s thesis award for my work on the design and detection of covert timing channels.
