Bio

I'm a graduate student in the Network Security Lab (NSL) in the Dept. of Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington. My research interests include modeling and analysis of vulnerabilities in secure wireless multi-user communication, including resource-constrained sensor and ad hoc networks, involving the application of graph theory, probability/statistics, information theory, game theory, complexity, optimization, and cryptography.

I received B.S. degrees in Mathematics and Computer Engineering from the University of Minnesota in 2003, where my primary areas of focus were probability and its applications to communications and networking.

I received the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Washington in 2007. I'll be finishing my Ph.D. from the same department in Summer of 2009.

A complete listing of my publications is below and can also be found in my CV.
