Research Interests: My research interests are in the area of computer network and operating systems, especially system issues related to data security and privacy. In the past five years, my research focuses on designing effective and efficient solutions to defend against various network abuses, such as Denial-of-Service attacks and SPAM.
Ongoing Projects:
- Denial of Information (sponsored by NSF CyberTrust)
- High Performance Anti-Spam Systems (sponsored by Georgia Research Alliance)
- Data Forensics on Solid-State Drives
- Privacy-Aware Video Surveillance
