I'm a fourth year grad student at Carnegie Mellon University. I am working with Adrian Perrig in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department.

My current research is focused on securing communication in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) and usable group key establishment/exchange protocols.

My CV is probably out of date, but available here.

My Life Outside of Grad School

My dog Caleb used to be scared of everything . Now, as long as there is no lightning, he is fearless.
Stop asking me. I bought the shirts here, here, or here.
It isn't totally outside of graduate school, but I'm also organizing a GSA floor hockey league.
