Example domain paragraphs

I am an Assistant Professor at the Computer Science and Engineering Dept. of UC Santa Cruz . My research focuses on applied cryptography, security & privacy , and secure databases/systems . My goal is to bridge the gap between cryptography/security and real-world systems/databases by working in both areas; aiming to build cryptographic solutions and real systems that are simultaneously practical, efficient, and provably secure.

Before joining UCSC, I was a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the EECS Dept. of UC Berkeley working with Prof. Raluca Ada Popa . I received my Ph.D. from the ECE Dept. of the University of Maryland , advised by Prof. Charalampos Papamanthou . I obtained my ECE Diploma and M.Sc at the Technical University of Crete , under the supervision of Minos Garofalakis .

I am the recipient of the ACM SIGSAC Doctoral Dissertation Award Runner-up, Distinguished Dissertation Award (University of Maryland), and the Symantec Research Labs Graduate Fellowship. I have also been at the Crypto Group of Visa Research, the Research Labs of Symantec, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and the Microsoft Research Labs as a PhD intern.
