I am a PhD candidate at the University of Michigan. I enjoy thinking about Software Systems with an emphasis on Operating Systems and Security. I work with Jason Flinn as a member of the awesome Pervasive Computing research group.

Education & Work
In a previous life, I interned and was later employed as a Computer Security Engineer at Atlan Laboratories where I was the primary developer of their proprietary suite of cryptography test tools. I graduated with a B.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park in December '03.
CSE
I was
the co-president (with Arnab Nandi) of CSEG, the UM Computer
Science and Engineering Graduate student organization during 2008-09. Feel
free to contact me with any questions you might have about CSE
or Ann Arbor.
I also used to run the CSE Software Reading Group which
discusses papers from leading Systems, Networking
and Security conferences.
Personal
I love to travel. I have been extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to live in Asia, Europe and North America, and travel to Australia. My goal over the next few years is to weasel out a trip to South America and Africa :-).
