I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at Florida State University, in Tallahassee, FL. I have research interests in Digital Forensics, Artificial Intelligence (Expert Systems and Knowledge Representation), Computer and Network Security. More specifically I am working on developing disk forensics toolkit. I am working with Dr. Sudhir Aggarwal.

Learn about what I do

I design and build cool stuff.
