I am a visiting lecturer and a postdoctoral researcher working with Prof. Marianne Winslett in Computer Sceince Department at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I also work with Prof. Carl Gunter in the Illinois Security Lab and Prof. Nikita Borisov at the Coordinated Science Laboratory. I received a Ph.D from Dartmouth College under the guidance of Prof. David Kotz.
