Research: My research is focused on Internet measurements that are based on advanced inference techniques, developing natural langauge processing algorithms for breaking down cultural and langauge barriers, and protecting people from software that puts their Internet freedoms at risk. To get a good idea of what I'm working on most recently, see here, here, and here.

Students: I'm currently actively working with six and five halves graduate students: Geoffrey Alexander, Peipei Cheng, Pravallika Devineni (co-advised with Michalis Faloutsos), Roya Ensafi, Antonio Espinoza, Maria Khater (co-advised with Rafael Fierro), Stephen Harding (co-advised with Michalis Faloutsos), Jeffrey Knockel (co-advised with Jared Saia), Jong Park, Peiyou Song (co-advised with George Luger), and Xu Zhang. I have graduated two Ph.D. students, Mohammed Al-Saleh (now a tenure-track faculty member at the Jordan University of Science and Technology) and Bilal Shebaro (now a post-doc at Purdue University).

Teaching: For Spring 2013 I'm teaching CS 491/591 (Computer and Network Security), and co-teaching CS 444/544 (Introduction to Cybersecurity) with Antonio Espinoza. Past courses are here. For a cool way to teach information flow and covert channels in your class, see http://werewolves.cs.unm.edu/.

More information: You can also check out my full list of publications, professional activities and some other stuff.

Funding: 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.

Academic background: I received my Ph.D. in June 2007 from the Department of Computer Science at U.C. Davis. My undergraduate degree is from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona.
