Students Advising and Research

I work with diverse research institutions advising/collaboration settings. I am grateful for the chance to advise/mentor over many graduate and undergraduate student's thesis projects. At ULL, I am in process of forming e-Crime Lab. These research initiatives are centered around investigating the realms of Internet cybercrimes such as phishing, scams, illicit campaigns, and prevalent abuses in real-world scenarios. We often submit the research work to flagship conferences: IEEE S&P, USENIX Security, ACM CCS, and NDSS. Below, you'll find a list of both current and alumni students whom I've had the honor of advising in research projects.
