Research
My research interests generally focus on Internet security and privacy. My Ph.D. work [5-7] enhances Internet privacy by helping service providers defend against a major source of network traffic analysis. My prior work [3, 4] was the first to demonstrate that traffic analysis could be leveraged against DASH (the video streaming protocol used by Netflix and other leading video streaming providers) in order to identify the specific video being watched by a user.
