Research

My research interests include computer systems and networking with an emphasis on network security. I am currently involved in theoretical and empirical studies on the dynamics of Internet malware.

In a nutshell...

I am a grad student working with Stefan Savage and Geoff Voelker as part of the Systems and Networking group in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at UCSD. From 2001-2004, I was an undergrad at the University of Maryland, College Park, where I earned my bachelor degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics.
