My Life

Upcoming events that I'm involved with:

Research Scientist Department of Computer Science University of California, Davis   and   Computational Research Division Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory UC Davis Computer Security Laboratory

Ph.D., University of California, San Diego
I3P Fellow (2007-2008)

I do research in computer security. I am particularly interested in computer forensic analysis, intrusion detection, vulnerability analysis, security policy modeling, electronic voting, the insider threat, and empirical studies of security.

I received my Ph.D., Masters and Bachelors degrees in Computer Science from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). I was a 2007–2008 I3P Fellow. I teach. I consult a bit.

Previously, I was a postdoc at UC Davis, a postdoc and lecturer in the Computer Science and Engineering department at UCSD, was a computer security researcher at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), and co-founded a now-defunct software company.

What's new: I gave the keynote address at IEEE/SADFE'08. I was the Program Committee Co-Chair of IEEE/SADFE '09. I recently co-authored a document on "Resolving the Unexpected in Elections: Election Officials' Options" about understanding how computer forensic techniques can be applied to issues with electronic voting machines and related systems (currently also distributed via the American Bar Association's voting resource page and the Center for Election Excellence). A revised version of the paper will be published in the Proceedings of the 2009 Electronic Voting Technolgy Workshop/Workshop on Trustworthy Elections (EVT/WOTE).
