Month: May 2016

We are excited to announce that Shrirang Mare will join UW CSE in the fall as a postdoc. Shrirang is receiving his PhD from Dartmouth College, and his interests include security and privacy issues in pervasive computing, particularly in healthcare, usable security, and continuous authentication. At UW he will be working with Profs. Richard Anderson, Yoshi Kohno, and Franzi Roesner at the intersection of digital financial services and computer security. Welcome Shrirang!

Congratulations to Gennie Gebhart for winning this year’s Information School 2016 Capstone Presentations Research Award! Among all the iSchool capstone projects, Gennie’s research on security, privacy, and censorship received this highest recognition. Congratulations Gennie!

As part of his PhD Dissertation, lab alumnus Miro Enev studied whether a computer attached to a car’s internal computer network could “fingerprint” (identify) the driver. Wired got excited about the work and interviewed Miro. See the resulting article here. A conference version of the upcoming paper, co-authored with lab member Alex Takakuwa, alumnus Karl Koscher, and faculty member Yoshi Kohno will appear at PETS 2016. Great job team!
