I am working on anomalous and baseline patterns in network traffic. My work is mostly on building tools to extract, analyze and characterize interesting components of traffic data. My co-advisors are Prof. Anura Jayasumana and Prof. Ali Pezeshki. I'm also working with Prof. Louis Scharf, Dr. Randy Paffenroth and Dr. Philip DuToit. My Master's is from St. Cloud State University in Computer Science and Bachelor's is from University of Peradeniya in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
