Jedidiah R. Crandall
Assistant Professor, University of New Mexico, Computer Science Department
Office number FEC 335. Office hours for Fall 2009: M 3-4pm, Th 3-5pm, or by appointment.
I'm currently advising five Ph.D. students (Mohammed Al-Saleh, Roya
Ensafi,
Jong Park, Bilal Shebaro, and
Sandy Turner) and one M.S. student (Vikram Gade).
I'm teaching CS 341L (Computer Organization and Design) in the fall.
Past Courses:
491/591 (Security and Privacy),
CS 341l F08, CS
591 S08, CS 341l F07.
For more information about ConceptDoppler check out http://www.conceptdoppler.org/. For information about my work on malicious code see my thesis. My current research interests include Internet censorship, security and concurrency, information flow, network reconnaissance, the ecology and evolution of malicious software, and forensics. I'm generally interested in anything having to do with computer security and privacy. I received my Ph.D. in June 2007 from the Computer Science department
at
U.C. Davis. My undergraduate degree is from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in
Prescott, Arizona.

For worm and virus research the details are very important and very
difficult to get right so I've compiled an errata list for the above papers so as not
to add to the misinformation that's out there.

Older version of DACODA source code, but contains dacodanotes.txt that might be helpful.
