I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science, College of Charleston. I enjoy programming, teaching and research in cyber security, computer networks, and ethical hacking. When I am not on my computer, I like scuba diving and exploring underwater caves and shipwrecks.

I am looking for motivated undergraduate and graduate students to work on research in the areas of Internet of Things Security and Security Evaluation. Check the Cybersecurity X Lab page for opportunities to work with me.
