Revision as of 05:48, 3 May 2020

My primary research interests center on data, and specifically data security, privacy, storage and correlation. In the 1990s my emphasis was largely on data security, largely driven by my experiences working an Internet service provider on Martha's Vineyard. From 1998-2003 I worked on network monitoring---first telephone networks, then IP networks---at Sandstorm Enterprises. From 2003 through 2014 I worked mostly on the digital forensics of stored data. Since 2015 I have mostly worked on data privacy and ethics issues, exploring de-identification at NIST and now differential privacy at the US Census Bureau. I also have strong interest in usability.

As of May 2020, I am looking for students to help on the following projects:

  • Improving the usefulness of the https://digitalcorpora.org/ website, with:
    • Providing better visualizations of the data sets we have available for download
    • Identifying which tools are being used with better log file analysis
    • Engaging the digital forensics educational community to find out what data sets would be more useful.
  • Writing a paper about Cloud Forensics
  • Writing a paper on the philosophy of differential privacy.
  • Completing NIST SP 800-188, de-identifying government datasets.
