I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. My primary research interest is systems and network security. I have worked with Professors Avi Rubin, Fabian Monrose, and Adam Stubblefield as a member of the Security and Privacy Applied Research (SPAR) lab in the Information Security Institute (ISI). Additionally, I am a member of the RFID Consortium for Security and Privacy (RFID-CUSP).
Prior to arriving at Hopkins, I earned an undergraduate degree at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. While there, Professor Bruce Lowekamp was my research advisor. In 2003, I spent the summer as a research fellow at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). I also held a research internship with the advanced development group at VMware in 2008. I have worked as a campus representative for Apple and as a security consultant for Independent Security Evaluators (ISE).
I am teaching 600.424/650.424 Network Security in Spring 2010.
