In May 2006 I attained my Computer Science PhD degree from Georgia Tech. My Thesis "Privacy and Proportionality" can be downloaded from the Georgia Tech Electronic Thesis and Dissertation site. The thesis focuses on privacy and security in advanced IT applications, and is based on work I did with the Ubiquitous Computing Research Group at Georgia Tech. A summary article of my thesis appeared on ACM ToCHI in 2008.

I have now joined a leading management consulting firm.  

Current research 

My current research focuses on the social implications of ubiquitous computing technology in relation to security and privacy. Recent articles include a review article on privacy research in HCI for the new journal Foundations and Trends in Human-Computer Interaction and a synthesis of my doctoral research.
