Research Profile
My research is dedicated to solving critical security challenges in computer systems by advancing our fundamental understanding and developing practical, robust defenses. Driven by a passion for mathematics, computer science, and engineering, I focus on both the foundational and applied aspects of system security and privacy.
My primary research interest lies in developing and evaluating innovative defense approaches for real-world AI-enabled systems. Currently, a significant part of my work centers on developing simulations systems to train and evaluate autonomous cyber defenders; and, enhancing the security and reliability of autonomous driving systems against sophisticated adversarial attacks. This builds upon my broader focus on areas such as network defense and the security of autonomous vehicles.
In my career, I have been fortunate to collaborate with outstanding individuals from excellent institutions. From this experience, I have learned that many solutions to important problems require multidisciplinary teams formed of individuals with diverse backgrounds.
My background also includes contributions to a range of application domains, such as:
- Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing
- Cryptographic protocols
- Privacy-preserving technologies
- Identity and access management
- Security and privacy for ubiquitous systems (mobile/medical devices, smart meters, computational RFIDs)
These diverse experiences provide a broad perspective that enriches my current research endeavors.
