Research interests

I am primarily interested systems security broadly, including topics like the development and use of novel platform security features, applying cryptographic techniques to design secure protocols for distributed systems, applying machine learning techniques to security/privacy problems, and understanding/addressing the security and privacy of machine learning applications themselves.

Current students

Students do the heavy lifting that leads to good research papers. My current doctoral students are: You can find the full list of all my graduate students and postdocs, present and past in my full CV found here.
