I am a Security Engineer employed by Facebook on the Corporate Security team. I am also a graduated Ph.D. student at the University of Colorado Boulder in the [Department of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering] (http://ecee.colorado.edu/). I worked with Professor Eric Keller in the Network and Security Research Group (NSR). I received my undergraduate degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Colorado School of Mines. My research interests are in embedded and network security, but I am also interested in networking, embedded systems, distributed systems and operating systems, including mobile applications and software-defined networking.
