I am co-PI on a newly awarded three year National Science Foundation grant starting January 2015! The project is a partnership with Temple University's, Florida Intrnational University's and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University's Electrical and Computer Engineering Departments. The project is titled "CPS: Synergy: Collaborative Research: Towards Secure Networked Cyber-Physical Systems: A Game-Theoretic Framework with Bounded Rationality", and worth $999,853 [Temple's portion is worth $499,852]. My part of the project will involve extensive qualitative work.

I am an Assistant Professor with the Criminal Justice Department
at Temple University. I received my PhD from the School of Criminal Justice at Rutgers University in May 2012.
My PhD research explored cybercrimes against critical infrastructures. A nation’s critical infrastructure includes those socio-economic entities (transportation, telecommunications, power plants, water supply systems, emergency services) that are crucial to its everyday functioning and security. With the proliferation of technology, critical infrastructures have become computerized and interconnected, making them vulnerable to cybercrimes that compromise, alter, and/or steal sensitive data. My interests in critical infrastructure research includes offender decision-making, dynamic crime scripts, and criminal organization and operation.
Other research interests include the hybridity of crime; environmental criminology and offender decision-making; critical infrastructure protection; (international) organized crime; (international) corporate crime; and media portrayls of (cyber)crime.
