I am current teaching in the capacity of Visiting Instructor at Colby College in the Computer Science Dept. This semester I've been teaching Structured Programming and Elementary Algorithms. Teaching and finishing my Ph.D. disseration is keeping me busy, so I haven't yet migrated this page to Colby. I anticipate completing my degree by January of 2008 and am seeking a tenure-track teaching position at a small, liberal arts college for Fall of 2008. My research to date in cryptography includes steganography, secure channels, and private database queries. I am also interested in doing research related to information security and privacy policy issues.

I am also a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Boston University. I was a member of the Applied Cryptography and Electronic Security (ACeS) group which is led by my advisors Gene Itkis and Leo Reyzin.
