I've moved! Please see my new website at Harvard, where I am a fellow at the Center for Research on Computation and Society.

I graduated with a Ph.D. from the School of Information Management Systems (SIMS) at UC Berkeley in 2005. My dissertation is titled "Authentication for Humans: The Design and Evaluation of Usable Security Systems".

My research interests span the fields of computer security, human computer interaction and information policy. My advisor is Professor Doug Tygar. I am also affiliated with the Group for User Interface Research.

In my spare time, I work as a technical consultant on intellectual property and civil liberties litigation. Recently, I have worked on MGM v. Grokster, Universal Music Australia v. Sharman and American Library Association v. United States.

Before coming to Berkeley, I worked on electronic payment system privacy and security at CyberCash and took graduate classes in computer science at George Washington University.
