Jeff Rowe
Staff Researcher

Dr. Rowe obtained his Ph.D. from UC Davis in 1996 in Particle Physics. Since joining the Computer Security Laboratory, he has developed several algorithms for responding to network attacks. He was leader of the team testing and maintaining the GrIDS system. He also led the team subcontracted to produce the IDIP Discovery Coordinator for the Boeing Automated Response to Intrusions project. Most recently, Dr. Rowe evaluated GrIDS under the DARPA sponsored Lincoln Lab IDS evaluation program. His research interests include architectures for very large-scale IDS systems, use of correlation techniques in Intrusion Detection and automatic response methodologies. Jeff conducts research with Professor Karl Levitt in the Computer Security Laboratory.
