Research interests
    Currently my research is focused on security of collaborative environments. In particular I am building a framework tailored to meet the unique security requirements of distributed, multipart, interactive collaborations.
    In general anything pertaining to cryptography, systems and network security interests me. Throughout my studies and participation in research projects I have worked on a number of security related topics, which are listed below to some extent.
     Finally, I have experience in the broad area of mobile networks and systems, among others - vehicular and user based ad hoc networks and mobility simulations.
