I recently completed my Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science at UMass Amherst advised by Kevin Fu.

I will be a post doc at Dartmouth College working with David Kotz. My dissertation addresses the problem of obtaining useful information about a population using data gathered by resource-constrained devices and combining it in a privacy-aware manner.

My previous research at the University of Pennsylvania includes work on covert channels and hyperelliptic curves in cryptography where I collaborated with Gaurav Shah and Matt Blaze.
