About me

I am currently a Ph.D. student at Princeton University. My advisor is Michael J. Freedman. Previously, I completed my Master's degree also at Princeton. I completed my undergraduate degree in general engineering at The Cooper Union in 2005. Before starting my Master's degree I worked at a small start-up software development firm in NYC. More details are available in my resume.

Research Interests

Security, Applied Cryptography, Privacy, Distributed Systems, Programmable Networks, New Network Architectures, and Network Protocols.

Research Statement

The Internet was originally designed more than twenty years ago, to solve the immediate needs of the research community at the time. It was designed from a practical point of view -- it needed to just work. Now, we have a vastly different array of requirements and needs for a network that has to operate on a scale never envisioned all those years ago. We also currently have a working, though not perfect, Internet; so we have the luxury of designing the next network architecture to be more stable, robust, and be based on a more solid theoretical foundation. I wish to be part of this evolution in networking technologies and so during my first year of graduate studies I have concentrated on studying the security and correctness of networking protocols and distributed systems. I wish to continue this work as well as have to have an opportunity to develop real-world systems.
