[Biographical Sketch][CV][Publications][Teaching]


Biographical Sketch

Dr. Sarah Diesburg received both her Ph.D. degree in Computer Science (2012) and M.S. degree in Information Assurance (2008) at Florida State University, and she received her B.S. in Computer Science (2004) from the University of Northern Iowa. She joined the Department of Computer Science at Florida State University in 2012 for a post-doctoral appointment. Her research interests include operating systems, file systems, storage drivers, secure storage, and secure deletion.

Dr. Diesburg's research interests address security and privacy issues on electronic storage. Her dissertation framework, TrueErase, is a backwards-compatible secure deletion solution that works with modern file systems and storage media, including flash drives. She is also interested in finding methods to improve and optimize the communication pathways in the operating system between the application and storage layers. Previously, she has worked in research to facilitate instruction of parallel computing aspects and paradigms through non-destrutive, drop-in classroom environments.
