I'm an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University and Chief Scientist of Censys . My research brings a large-scale, empirical approach to the study of security, abuse, and misinformation on the Internet. I build systems to measure complex networked ecosystems, and I use the resulting perspective to understand real-world behavior, uncover weaknesses, architect more resilient approaches, and guide policy decisions.
I lead the Stanford Empirical Security Research Group where I advise several Ph.D. students and postdoctoral scholars: Liz Izhikevich , Gerry Wan , Kimberly Ruth , Hans Hanley , Catherine Han , Agur Adams (co-advised with Phil Levis ), Deepak Kumar , and Gautam Akiwate .
I teach CS155 Computer and Network Security (2019–2023), CS356 Topics in Systems and Network Security (2018–2022), and CS249i The Modern Internet (2021–2023).
