BIO
CS PhD from UCSD and ex-CMU LTI. My objective is to reduce human-driven cyber risk after hearing so many stories from peers about how they’ve gotten scammed. I have worked in machine translation, optical character recognition, and document attribution, which was actually interrupted by a real-world ransomware attack.
Ex-company, school and discipline below are derived from this bio. Nothing is inferred when the bio is missing.
