I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Indiana University Bloomington. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. My research interests include data-driven security and privacy, with the specific focus on cyber crime, system security, as well as cyber-physical systems security and privacy. In general, my research interests are to discover and understand critical security issues in a large system through data-oriented security analysis, and then to design and develop innovative solutions to address these issues.
