School of Computer and Cyber Sciences, Augusta University
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Computer and Cyber Sciences at Augusta University. My research sits at the intersection of cybersecurity, physical sensing, and human-computer interaction, specifically around biometric authentication for wearable devices, deepfake and generative AI defenses, and privacy-preserving wireless sensing.
Before joining Augusta University in 2022, I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Florida State University under the supervision of Prof. Jie Yang. My work has appeared at UbiComp, CHI, ACSAC, HICSS, and IEEE TMC.
When not running experiments or advising students, I'm a big fan of video games, MTG, and D&D.
Pioneering acoustic, biomechanical, and physiological biometrics — toothprints, ear canal deformation, lip articulation dynamics — for continuous, implicit authentication on head-worn wearable devices.
Developing physical-layer and behavioral defenses that verify authenticity through signals generative AI cannot replicate — liveness detection via lip dynamics and RF-based presence verification.
Building RF and acoustic sensing systems (WiFi, UWB radar) that extract behavioral and environmental information without cameras, enabling privacy-preserving security and health monitoring.
