I graduated and joined MITRE in 2010. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the College of William and Mary in 2010. My research advisor was Dr. Haining Wang. I received my B.S. in Computer Science from the State University of New York at Brockport in 2001 and my M.S. in Computer Science from the College of William and Mary in 2006.

Research
My Ph.D. research uses information-theoretic methods to address different problems in network and system security, such as detecting covert channels or determining if a user is a human or bot. My research interests include networks, distributed systems, network monitoring, intrusion detection, traffic modeling, and covert channels.
