About Me

I am a second year PhD student of Computer Science in the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science at Portland State University. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Thomas Shrimpton.

My broad research interests include Cryptography and Computer Security. Recently, my focus has been in the area of Traffic Flow Confidentiality: I'm studying the information that encryption protocols leak and how to build protocols resistant to Traffic Analysis.
