I
am an Assistant Professor in the department
of Computer and
Information Sciences at the
University of
Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).
I work in the areas of computer and network security,
and applied cryptography.
My students and I run the SPIES -- Security and
Privacy In Emerging computing and networking
Systems -- research group. I am also one of the core faculty members of UAB's recently launched Center for Information Assurance and Joint Forensics Research (CIA-JFR).
I obtained my Ph.D. in Information
and Computer Science from UC
Irvine. I hold an M.S. in Computer Science from UC Santa Barbara,
and a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics
and Computing from Indian
Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India.
Before joining UAB, I was an
Assistant Professor in the department of Computer
Science and Engineering at Polytechnic Institute
of New York University (NYU-Poly; formerly
Polytechnic University), where I still maintain
a courtesy appointment and continue to advise
students.
Never believed in self-promotion, but hey, why
not?
Arnetminer,
the Academic Researcher Social Network Search
Engine, currently ranks me among the
top 10 rising stars working in the Security areas
(they have mined my photo completely wrong
though :-))
Note for Students: I am looking
for several exceptionally bright PhD/MS/BS
students to join my research group. If
interested, please contact me with your CV.
