I have graduated one Ph.D. student, Mohammed Al-Saleh, who is now a faculty member at the Jordan University of Science and Technology. I'm currently actively working with five and two halves Ph.D. students: Roya Ensafi, Antonio Espinoza, Maria Khater (co-advised with Rafael Fierro), Jeffrey Knockel (co-advised with Jared Saia), Jong Park, Bilal Shebaro, and Peipei Cheng. I've also worked with Ronald Garduño (UNM undergrad), Leif Guillermo (UNM undergrad), Veronika Strnadova (UNM undergrad, now a grad student at UCSB), and Sandy Turner (UNM Ph.D. student).

For Fall 2011 I'm teaching CS 485/585: Computer Networks. The course website is here. Past courses are here. In Spring 2012 I'll be teaching CS 481: Computer Operating Systems and CS 444/544 Introduction to Cybersecurity.

I'm grateful for my research to be supported by the National Science Foundation CAREER, Trusted Computing, and EPSCoR programs, and by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency CRASH program and an Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency seedling.

My current research interests include Internet censorship, information flow, network reconnaissance, forensics, privacy, and natural language processing in Chinese. I'm generally interested in anything having to do with computer security and privacy. I received my Ph.D. in June 2007 from the Computer Science department at U.C. Davis. My undergraduate degree is from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona.
