I am a Ph.D. candidate at Carnegie Mellon University.
My research applies interdisciplinary methods to problems that involve people and computer security.
More specifically, my thesis explores how to reduce the incidence and impact of human end user errors in the design of secure communication mechanisms. Adrian Perrig is my advisor.
