I'm a PhD student in the Computer Sciences Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a research assistant in the
Security & Privacy Research Group,
advised by Prof. Patrick McDaniel. My research interests are
in systems and network security. In current work, I'm designing efficient integrity checking
techniques for cloud storage systems.
