My research interests are in the areas of networks security and online privacy. My work has broadly combined principles of the design, analysis, and development of security and privacy primitives and tools for real-world systems. Over the past ten years, my interests have evolved to include topics in security analytics, social networks security and privacy, Internet security, networks security, and privacy. My approach in conducting research in these areas considered exploratory, constructive, and empirical methods. A common theme in my most recent research work is the use of advanced machine learning techniques for security analytics: to understand codes, traffic, and infrastructure usage in real-world deployments. My earlier work focused on understanding various security issues in multiple networking contexts, by design and analysis. My doctoral thesis work draw from both directions: measurements of social graphs properties used for security, and improved security by better properties in those graphs. In the following, I provide a summary, mostly focused on recent work, and open directions.
