I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Cyber Security Engineering and a Commonwealth Cyber Initiative Fellow at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. I joined the faculty at Mason in 2025. Before this role, I served as an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer and Information Technology at Purdue University. I earned my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Florida State University in 2010 and 2015, respectively. My research interests include Digital and Cyber Forensics, Forensic Intelligence, User and Data Privacy, and the application of Artificial Intelligence in Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity, as well as Computer and Network Security.

I am looking for graduate students (preferably doctoral students) to work in my digital forensics research lab. If you are interested in pursuing a graduate degree in Cyber Security and Digital Forensics, or perhaps you have an interesting project idea lying in the following areas, contact me!
