Personal profile
Research profile
My research centers around the intersection of ubiquitous computing, peer-to-peer networking, and security/privacy. Our current mobile and cloud ecosystem is heavily dependent on a few large corporations, thereby limiting our digital self-determination. I am looking for new ways to enable seamless mobile interaction with people and services without being dependent on any central infrastructure.
