I am a technical expert in secure voting technologies, currently working as a contractor in the Washington D.C. area.

I received my Ph.D. in computer science from The George Washington University., with the thesis A Framework for Secure Mixnet-Based Electronic Voting (Advisers: Poorvi Vora and David Chaum). I also have a B.S. diploma in computer science and engineering from "Politehnica" University of Bucharest, Romania.
