Biography:

I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of South Carolina, where I am conducting research in database security. The research problem that I am working on is called the inference problem. The inference problem is the ability to determine confidential data by applying some database constraints(meta-data) to some previously retrieved non-confidential data.

I have also conducted research in Information Retrieval.
