About
I am an associate professor in the Department of Computer and Information Sciences at Temple University . I received my Ph.D in Computer Science from the College of William and Mary, and my B.S in Computer Science and B.A. in Economics, both from the University of Texas at Austin.
My current research interests are digital privacy, cybersecurity, and smarthealth. In the past, I have worked on wireless/mobile computing, RFID systems, vehicular networks, and cloud storage security. A list of my publications can be found on Google Scholar, and a recent CV (Spring 2024) can be found here.
