I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer and Information Science at Fordham University, located at the Lincoln Center campus in New York City. I am broadly interested in the intersection of computer systems, security, and economics, with a focus on how incentives shape the cybersecurity ecosystem. I received my PhD in Computer Science from Columbia University, where I worked under the supervision of Prof. Simha Sethumadhavan. I am currently recruiting motivated PhD students to join my research group. This position comes with guaranteed funding. If you are interested in working on problems related to computer systems, security, hardware security, computer architecture, or security economics, please reach out. |
