I am a Professor at the United States Air Force Academy in the Department of Computer and Cyber Sciences. My teaching focus is introductory computer science, software engineering, and database management systems. My research interests include software diversity for cyber resiliency, cloud computing security, and keyword search in databases.

I previously worked at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) and taught for Johns Hopkins’s Whiting School of Engineering as part of the Information Security Institute and Engineering for Professionals. In 2015, I received a New Faculty Teaching Award for Foundations of Software Engineering.

I received a BS in Computer Science from Furman University in 2007 and an MS and PhD in Computer Science from the University of Virginia in 2009 and 2012. My graduate research was directed by Alfred C. Weaver and focused on keyword search in relational databases.
