I recently graduated from the University of New Mexico with a PhD in computer science. My research interests include how to model biological computation and apply it to security and privacy in resource-constrained devices, focusing on finding alternatives to traditional energy-expensive security techniques such as encryption and key distribution. Other research interests include privacy-preserving data mining, concealed data aggregation in wireless sensor networks, negative databases, and negative surveys. My dissertation advisor was Dr. Stephanie Forrest and co-advisor was Dr. Wenbo He.
