About me |
|
I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer and Information Sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I lead the SECuRE and Trustworthy Computing Lab (SECRETLab). In the past, I was an NSF Computing Innovation Fellow and Assistant Research Scientist at the Dept. of Computer Science, Johns Hopkins University. My research was supported by the 2009 NSF/CRA Computing Innovation Postdoctoral Fellowship. At Hopkins, I was a member of the Hopkins Storage Systems Lab and collaborated with Prof. Randal Burns. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science in October 2009, from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My advisor was Prof. Marianne Winslett. I was also co-advised by Prof. Radu Sion of SUNY-StonyBrook. I am primarily interested in Cloud Computing, Computer Security, Secure Provenance, Trustworthy Databases and File Systems. I also introduced the notion of digital data waste - an area where my research has been covered by MIT Technology Review, cNET, and other media outlets. I am the developer of SPROV - a library for secure provenance, and TLOW - an architecture for secure, regulatory compliant database systems. My PhD dissertation topic introduced the first implementation and analysis of secure provenance schemes in the context of file systems, and the fastest implementation of a regulatory-compliant database (100x faster audits than the previous best work). | |
