About Me

June, 2009
I am a graduate student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering (CSEE). I study computer security with my advisor, Alan Sherman, in the Cyber Defense Lab at UMBC. My core interest right now is working on new kinds of voting systems like Punchscan and Scantegrity. I am also interested in privacy enhancing technologies, virtual systems security, cryptology, discrete algorithms, and information assurance.
For more information about me take a look at my projects or curriculum vitae. You might also want to check out my blog.
