I am currently a Senior Security Researcher at Censys. I completed
my Ph.D in 2023 in Computer Science and Engineering
at the University of California - San Diego.
I am broadly
interested in quantifying and improving security processes
using data and research science methods. Most recently, I've
been exploring questions related to the Web and Internet
scanning. In the past, I used large-scale empirical
analyses to understand and improve security processes within an
enterprise, examine user behaviors via network traffic, and
answer Web related questions from the perspective of Chrome.
