CV Text

My PhD dissertation work is cited in the literature and has received a special recognition at a highly accredited international ACM conference.  It implements a defense mechanism which provides an autonomous and robust response to communication Denial-of-Service attacks in wireless networks through the use of parallel communication paths.  My work was achieved under the supervision of Professor Robert Simon of the Computer Science department at the Valgenau School of Engineering, George Mason University, in Fairfax, Virginia, USA.
