About
Me
I am in my fourth year of my Ph.D. in
Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University. My advisor is Dr. Avi Rubin.
My research interests include Network,
Systems and Software Security. Prior to joining JHU I did my masters at the
Information
Networking Institute of Carnegie Mellon University. At Hopkins I am a
member of the Security Privacy and
Applied
Research (SPAR) lab and also work in the ACCURATE voting lab.

Experience
Engineering
Intern, Google Inc, Mountain View, Summer 2006
As an Intern at Google I had the opportunity to work on some interesting data analysis of Phishing attacks. I worked with Niels Provos and
Monica Chew and we published a paper on detection and measurements of Phishing attacks. I also had an opportunity to contribute to the
production cycle.

Fun
Stuff J
I am an avid reader and love to get lost either in the classics by Jane Austen, Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, or in the wizarding world created by J.K.Rowling,
or in a mystery by Agatha Christie. I love to dance and have enjoyed pursuing Indian Classical Dance for several years. I am a part of
the JHUMOOR group and take part in shows quite often. I also enjoy Salsa and Cha-Cha with my husband Nikesh.
