ABOUT

I am an assistant professor in the SCIS Department at FIU in Miami. Before joining FIU I spent 6 years in Motorola Labs (Applied Research Center when I left) in Schaumburg and Libertyville, IL. Even earlier, I completed a Ph.D. in CS at Purdue University.
My research interests are in
  • Online social networks privacy and security
  • Private and secure data and computation outsourcing
  • Electronic payment technologies and applications
  • Wireless networking security
    • For more details, please see my research statement.

    PERSONAL

    I like to hang out with my kids, read (e.g., Saki -- the writer not the other thing), watch movies, windsurf, swim, bike, travel. Former interests include spelunking (caving), jumping from small bridges, biking on snow and camping in severely under-provisioned tents (in terms of temperature and overall comfort). And yes, I have a yellow car!
