Overview

I am a Staff Engineer at Canonical where I work on a variety of open source things.

I am interested in a broad range of security topics. Most recently, I have focused on building systems that are resilient to attack using a range of techniques, including trusted computing and data provenance. You can find more information about my research and teaching interests on others pages on this site.

Prior to joinging Canonical I was an assistant professor in the Department of Software and Information Systems at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Prior to joining the faculty at UNCC, I was a research scientist at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in the Secure Resilient Systems and Technology Group working with a number of incredibly talented people. While there, I worked on a range of topics related to computer and network defense.

Prior to joining the lab, I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from The Pennsylvania State University from the Computer Science and Engineering Department. I was a member of the Systems and Internet Infrastructure Security Lab where I was advised by Professor Patrick McDaniel. My dissertation focused on building high-integrity systems at scale. I also received my M.S. in Computer Science and Engineering and my B.S. in Computer Engineering from Penn State.
