My research is centered on developing technologies capable of efficiently extracting valuable information from data without compromising privacy or security.

I am the the recipient of various awards including NSF CAREER award, the AMIA (American Medical Informatics Association) 2014 Homer R Warner Award and the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) ISI (Intelligence and Security Informatics) 2017 Technical Achievement Award presented jointly by IEEE SMC and IEEE ITS societies for my research in data security and privacy. I am also a fellow of AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science), and IEEE, and a distinguished member of ACM.

I recently moved to Virginia Tech Computer Science Department. Before September 1st, 2024, I was an Ashbel Smith Professor of Computer Science at UT Dallas.
