Right now, my main interests are focused around security of ubiquitous devices and context aware physical access control. That means that I want to (1) know how to strengthen the security and privacy properties of devices that we interact with every day and (2) make physical access control mechanisms (such as RFID access cards) more intelligent by making them aware of their environment.
