ABOUT

I am soon moving to FIU!

I am currently a staff member in Motorola's Applied Research Center (ARC), formerly known as Motorola Labs. My work is at the intersection of data and network security, applied cryptography and distributed algorithms. In particular, I am interested in private information processing techniques, cloud computing, electronic payment technologies and secure applications for personal devices. In the past I have also worked on content distribution networks for video on demand technologies and various problems on sensor and RFID networks. For more details, please see my research statement.

    PERSONAL

    I like to hang out with my kids, Julia, Alex and Elisa, read (e.g., Saki -- the writer not the other thing), watch movies, windsurf, swim, bike, travel. Former interests include spelunking (caving), jumping from small bridges, biking on snow and camping in severely under-provisioned tents (in terms of temperature and overall comfort). And I have a yellow car!
