I'm interested in mobile security, web spam, web security, electronic voting, and other aspects of computer security.
I ventured briefly into phishing, armed with an iPhone. Now my focus is on usable security in the mobile phone domain.

You can see the result of some (group) class projects in classes and my (paltry) list of publications. Many more to come, hopefully!
