I’m Erik. I’m a computer security, privacy, and networking researcher. I believe that stuffing should be enjoyed year-round, not just on Thanksgiving.

---

I’m a University of Maryland Computer Science PhD student working in the security, privacy, and computer networking spaces. I’ve published numerous peer-reviewed articles in highly-competitive computer science journals and conference proceedings like IEEE S&P, SIGCOMM, and IMC, and have presented original research at top security conventions like Black Hat USA.

I’m also an alliteration advocate, serial comma champion, diaeresis disciple, ligature lover, and semicolon supporter. I’m an erratic (ultra)marathoner, erstwhile Marine, and dog aficionado. My Erdős number is 3 (Gera→Chartrand→Erdős).
