My research focuses on empirically measuring the security and privacy
of technology systems and their intersections with
society. Some of my current projects explore the socio-economics of
e-crime, censorship evasion, anonymous communication,
cyber-physical systems. More generally, I am interested
in exploring and improving the security and privacy of large-scale
systems.
