is so powerful a passion in the human breast, that however high we
reach

Research Interest
My research focus lies in Distributed Systems with an emphasis on
communication and privacy
issues in large scale systems. My main interest is to develop efficient
distributed systems that allow robust and flexible services as scalable
search or resource sharing, efficient data dissemination, or reliable
anonymous communication.
I have currently been looking at the fundamental characteristics of
social networks by
building a more resilient anonymous communication system that leverages
trust
relationships from social networks. (more)
