Welcome! I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Minnesota. I work with Professors Nick Hopper and Yongdae Kim as part of the Security and Crypto Lab. My research is in improving security and performance in anonymous communications and censorship-resistant networks.
I completed my PhD under Prof. Matthew Wright at the University of Texas at Arlington in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering in Dec 2010.
