About me

I am a PhD student at College of William and Mary. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.S in Computer Science and a B.A. in Economics (honors). My research advisor is Qun Li.

Research Interests

My research interests include

ubiquitous computing

,

cyber-physical systems (CPS)

,

embedded systems

, and

RFID applications

. I usually work on problems related to

security

and

privacy

. I am also interested in wireless networks such as 802.11, vehicular, mesh, ad hoc, and sensor networks.
