Everything is Figure-Out-Able!
That is my engineering motto. I am a PhD student at UNC Charlotte's College of Computing and Informatics.
I work in the CReST Lab
under the advisement of Dr. Tom Moyer and Dr. Siddharth Krishnan on cyber security and machine learning.
What lies undiscovered at the intersection of cyber security and big data ?
My research aims to overcome limitations of traditional analysis to discover the hidden layers and connections that exist in security in order to detect anomalies, narrow targets, and mitigate threats. Examples of data producers include:
- Forensic Investigations
- System Data Provenance
- Network Captures
Cyber Security
My datasets are primarily sourced from the cyber security domain. This includes system provenance, network packets, file and operating system information, disk images, and more.
Knowledge Discovery
My work uses data mining, deep learning, and graph analysis techniques in order to extract implicit and potentially useful information for machine learning.
System Design
My research is not only in finding solutions, but also actualizing them into resilient systems usable by technical and non-technical personnel.
Conferences and Publications
Networking
Research focused on networking concepts, packet forensics, and high-performance processing of network data.
Systems & Security
Publications geared toward systems engineering and cyber security topics.
U.S. History
In addition to my research in computing, I have also written historical works about race, gender, decolonization, and Asian-American cultural identity in the 20th century.
