I graduated in May 2011 with a Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute under the supervision of Professor Bülent Yener. My research interests broadly include anonymity and privacy, computer and network security, applied cryptography, software radio and digital signal processing. I previously received an M.S. in Computer Science from Rensselaer in 2007 and a B.S. in Computer Science from Baylor University in 2005. I am also a member of the Upsilon Pi Epsilon computer science honor society and recipient of Rensselaer's 2007 Hollingsworth Prize.

Current Projects

Key Generation & Authentication from Physical Layer Characteristics in Wireless Networks

I was funded under Dr. Yener's NSF Cyber Trust grant to explore and develop secret key generation and renewal algorithms for securing wireless networks by incorporating physical properties of the wireless channel. We also examined the use of physical layer channel characteristics in wireless device authentication schemes. Our work leveraged the flexible USRP2 hardware and GNU Radio software-defined radio platform.

The WiPHY Security Bibliography

Related to my thesis work with Professor Yener, I started maintaining a WiPHY security bibliography to help keep track of the numerous interesting papers on physical layer security in wireless networks. Perhaps others starting out in the field will find it useful as well. Feel free to email me with other references you would like to see listed in the bibliography.
