Research objective: To improve the security and privacy of pervasive computation by analyzing threat models and creating software and hardware that protect everyday embedded devices. My research focuses on two large classes of such computational devices: computational RFIDs and implantable medical devices. My research often involves cryptography, mixed-signal embedded systems, and file systems.

Leadership: I direct the Security and Privacy Research (SPQR) Lab and the RFID Consortium for Security and Privacy (RFID CUSP).

Affiliations: PRISMS Lab, SUMA, Medical Device Security Center
