I am primarily interested in computer security and privacy. Currently, I am studying approaches to increase the safety of software through improved programming practices, particularly with regard to the problem of SQL Injection attacks. As part of this work, I am exploring ways to incorporate elements of instructional design within software tools and documentation. One important application of security and privacy that concerns me greatly is telemedicine. So far, I have explored threat modeling and Federal statutory and regulatory requirements for security in Electronic Health Record (EHR) software.
