Welcome!

I am an assistant professor in the Manning College of Information & Computer Sciences (CICS) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

My research interest is in securing emerging computing platforms. Modern computing systems are constantly growing in size and complexity, and layers of abstraction help us design these complex systems. However, as core design primitives are obscured, these abstractions can also engender new security challenges. My research investigates security problems and solutions in large distributed platforms including Cloud Architectures, Internet of Things, and Threat Intelligence frameworks.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, advised by Adam Bates and I worked as a part of The Secure & Transparent Systems Laboratory. My dissertation is on securing serverless computing platforms through information flow analysis. Learn more about my research here.
