Biography

I’m a Professor in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh and a Visiting Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University. I have been a Turing Fellow for five years at the Alan Turing Institute since 2018. At Edinburgh, I have served as the Director of Institute for Computing Systems Architecture (one of the six research institutes within Informatics) between August 2018 and July 2022. Before joining Edinburgh, I had a two-year postdoctoral stint at the UCLA Computer Science Department in the Mobile Systems Laboratory headed by Prof. Rajive Bagrodia. I earned my PhD in Computer Science in 2004 from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where my advisor was Prof. Samir Das. I have previously held visiting researcher positions at ETH Zurich and at Ofcom London. I’m an ACM Distinguished Member and an IEEE Senior Member.

Research
