Learn about my research contributions.

My research objective is to understand how to provide security and privacy for pervasive computation by analyzing threat models and investigating mechanisms that provide unobtrusive security and privacy for ubiquitous computing. My research focuses on two large classes of such computational devices: implantable medical devices and RFID. My research often involves cryptography and file systems. I am the co-director of the Medical Device Security Center and coordinator of the RFID Consortium for Security and Privacy (RFID CUSP). I am a faculty member in PRISMS, the UMass Amherst Center for Advanced RFID Research, and SUMA.
