I’m a research scientist/engineer at Facebook working on integrity and abuse problems. I previously led anti-abuse engineering and data science teams at LinkedIn. I have published numerous academic papers on aspects of computer security and recently co-authored a book on Machine Learning and Security, published by O’Reilly. I hold a PhD in mathematics from UC Berkeley and did postdoctoral research in cryptography and security at CWI and Stanford University.
