Research Interests

Security, privacy, and formal methods in healthcare systems. Storage engines purpose-built for clinical monitoring; adversarial evaluation of voice agents that handle protected health information; privacy-preserving computation across institutional boundaries; cryptographic proofs over genomic data; formal verification of the data models underpinning health information exchange; and program analysis of legacy clinical software.
