I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science (primary) and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Vanderbilt University<\/a>. My research focuses on the design, implementation, and security of real-time and embedded systems, such as autonomous vehicles, industrial control systems, and satellites. I am generally interested in systems security, real-time and cyber-physical systems, distributed and concurrent systems, and operating systems.<\/p>\n Prior to joining Vanderbilt, I was a member of the Technical Staff at MIT Lincoln Laboratory<\/a> in the Secure Resilient Systems and Technology Group<\/a>. I earned my Ph.D. in 2016 in Computer Science<\/a> at UNC Chapel Hill<\/a>, where I worked with Jim Anderson<\/a>. I earned a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering<\/a> and a B.A. in Mathematics<\/a> from Bucknell University<\/a> in 2011. I’m a senior member of the IEEE.<\/p>\n Bio I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science (primary) and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Vanderbilt University.
