I am an Assistant Professor in the College of Computer and
Information Science at Northeastern University.
My research area is the application of
logic to computer science, including computer-aided verification and
reasoning, programming languages, and artificial intelligence. Lately,
my work has focused on:
- Specifying and verifying security protocols
- Reasoning with evidence under uncertainty.
I am a member of the PRL group and the Institute for Information
Assurance at Northeastern.
