I am looking for strong students interested in network security.
If you are interested in my research or the
BU Security Group, please apply to the graduate program at Boston University.
I am a postdoctoral researcher at Microsoft Research, New England. My research focuses on finding practical solutions to problems in network security, by leveraging formal techniques from cryptography and game theory. In August 2010, I'll be joining the Computer Science Department at Boston University as an assistant professor. In July 2009, I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University, under the direction of Jennifer Rexford and Boaz Barak. During my Ph.D., I spent time with the crypto group at IBM Research and interned at Cisco Research. I also organized various events for women in science and engineering, including this and this.
