Research

My research interests combine a rigorous, systems-level approach to networking with security, privacy and anonymity, especially as applied to large-scale distributed systems. Specifically, I am interested in analyzing the tradeoffs of performance and security in existing systems as deployed in the real world through experimentation and simulation, and designing novel systems that increase both performance and security.
