I am a PhD student at PragSec Lab in Computer Science Department of Stony Brook University where I am fortunate to work under the supervision of Nick Nikiforakis.
My research interests revolve around cyber crime and web security and my current research is focused on:
• Malware Analysis Systems
• Data Mining and Attack Attribution
• DNS and Malicious Domains
• Modern Social Engineering Attacks
