Research

I currently work with Professor Ken Birman on privacy and security for distributed systems. I am especially interested in building tools for sharing electronic medical records and enabling collaboration between healthcare professionals residing in distant locations.

I have also worked a bit with cloud computing services, and developed a tool for integrating Subversion with Amazon's S3. Although not yet ready for production use, work on this software is continuing.
