My research interests revolve around understanding the security and privacy implications of emerging online services. We're interested in problems including algorithm auditing of large-scale systems, better understanding the (in)security of the SSL ecosystem, and how to better design cloud computing systems to meet end users' needs.

I work in the Networked Systems Research Group at Northeastern, which includes my collaborators Christo Wilson and Dave Choffnes, as well as a group of very talented students.

Our research is generously funded by the National Science Foundation, the Army Research Office, Narus, Google, the Data Transparency Lab, and Amazon Web Services.
