Info About Me

I am currently working as a Member of Technical Staff in the Information Systems and Technology group at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory. My research pertains to various computer-security issues, notably intrusion detection and intrusion-tolerant systems.

Before starting work at Lincoln Laboratory, I was a graduate student at Brown University where I received my Master's degree in Computer Science. I also did my undergraduate studies at Brown; I graduated magna cum laude in May 1999, at which time I received an A.B. with Honors in Computer Science and an A.B. in Business Economics.

Here is a list of the courses I took while at Brown.

Research at Brown

While at Brown, my primary research interest was the debugging and instrumentation of software systems. I did some analysis of the theoretical aspects of such instrumentation, but most of my work focused on developing new and innovative techniques for efficiently controlling or gathering information from an executing program. These techniques typically rely on low-level machine or operating system details. My primary research platform was Windows NT, because of the wide appeal of tools for that platform and the relatively small amount of low-level systems research that has been done on Windows NT.

Some other topics I was (and still am!) interested in include cluster-based computing, performance monitoring, operating systems, frameworks and design patterns, distributed objects (especially DCOM), component-based client/server systems, serverless filesystems, and C++ language features.
