I am in my first year at UMass. My primary research interests are in the security and privacy of ubiquitous devices and, recently, in power-aware computing for ubiquitous devices. In particular, I often work with the class of devices known as Computational RFIDs (CRFIDs). My advisor is Kevin Fu.

Currently, my funding comes from the I3P scholar program.

I created and maintain the CRFID publication page. It contains links to all CRFID publications that I am aware of and bibtex entries for each of them, as well as some presentations. Please visit and let me know if there is anything missing.

Talks

• Getting things done on computational RFIDs with energy-aware checkpointing and voltage-aware scheduling.
  Delivered at the I3P Consortium Meeting, Johns Hopkins University. January 28, 2009. PDF
  The slides are heavily based on those delivered by Ben Ransford at the USENIX "HotPower" workshop, December 2008. His PDF is available here.

Education

I graduated from Berkshire Community College in 2005 with an A.S. in Computer Information Systems. In 2007 I received my B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
