I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Computer and Cyber Sciences at the Augusta University. My research interests include mobile computing, cybersecurity, computing for good, ubiquitous computing, sensor-enhanced computing, edge computing, and smart applications. Specifically, I am interested in using devices, sensors, services, and interfaces to create secure computer systems that integrate seamlessly into a user’s environment, allowing technology to fade into the background of daily life. My research focuses on building, secure, configurable, resilient systems for heterogeneous environments. For information services to be successful in resource-constrained environments, software needs to be secure, robust, and flexible enough to be composable by non-programmers and be deployable by resource-constrained organizations. Isolating reusable framework components from the user-configurable application components can reduce the skill required to customize applications
Before joining Augusta University, I completed my PhD at the University of Washington's Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering where I was one of the founders of the Open Data Kit Project.
