Posted on: Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009
Broad Research Area: Databases / Information Retrieval / Data Mining, Information Assurance / Security / Privacy / Cryptography, Networks / Operating Systems, Social Computing / Social Informatics

Research Interests:

I am interested in the design, deployment and measurement of large-scale systems, particularly from the perspectives of reliability, security, and privacy. Most recently I have been studying the formation and evolution of social networks, and how they can be used to improve security and reliability in distributed systems. I am also involved in a number of other projects, including design and evaluation of vehicular networks, network modeling and simulation, and anonymous communication systems.
