About me

I work as a Research Scientist at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC)^[1] — my web page at PARC is available here.
My research interests include Security, Privacy, and Applied Cryptography.

From 2007 to 2011, I was with the University of California, Irvine (zot? zot?), from where I received a PhD in Networked Systems, advised by Gene Tsudik. My PhD thesis, titled "Sharing Sensitive Information with Privacy", is available for download here.

To escape from SoCal's nice weather, I had internships in Nokia Research (2010), INRIA Rhone-Alpes (2009), and NEC Labs (2008). I also spent some time visiting Johns Hopkins University (2010) and Singapore Management University (2009).

It is the birthplace of many groundbreaking inventions (such as, Ethernet, VLSI, GUI, laser printing, object-oriented programming, etc.) and home of three Turing Award winners (Butler W. Lampson, Alan Kay, and Charles P. Thacker) as well as distinguished researchers (like Mark Weiser, Ralph Merkle, Van Jacobson, etc.)
