ABOUT

I am a principal staff member in Motorola's Applied Research and Technology Center (ARTC), formerly known as Motorola Labs. Primarily, my work here consist of devising caching algorithms for video on demand (VOD) services. Previous work includes designing and building secure applications for mobile devices. Current interests include data and network security, applied cryptography and distributed algorithms. In particular, I am interested in private information processing techniques and electronic payment technologies.

    PERSONAL

    I have very little spare time. But when I do, I hang out with my kids, Julia, Alex and Elisa, I read (only fiction), watch movies, windsurf, swim and bike. 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). My health is not what it used to be, so I frequently find myself trying to avoid such activities and focus on less hazardous ones. But they certainly were, at least occasionally, fun.
