Hello.
I am a third year PhD student within the Systems + Networking group of the Computer Science Department @ the University of California, San Diego. My advisors are Geoff Voelker and Stefan Savage.
Prior to returning to Graduate School in 2008, I worked on the search backend @ eBay. And I studied Computer Science @ the Univeristy of California, Berkeley for undergrad.

Research Interests
Recently I've been focused on monitoring + measuring malicious behavior on the web. Specifically, the use of black hat search engine optimizations (SEO) to manipulate Google search results, which then serve as the vector into scams.
In general, though, I am interested very broadly in Systems + Networking.
