I am a postdoctoral associate at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), in the Cryptography and Information Security Group. My research focus is cryptography, information security and algorithms.

pages2pdf: a shell script for converting
a bunch of images (say, scanned
pages or transparencies), given in any
common format, into a single PDF files. Optionally, reduces
resolution and includes multiple images per page. See also slides2pdf, an older and somewhat inferior
evrsion (which produced these outputs: [1][2][3][4][5]).
rexecsync: a shell
script for saving the output of an arbitrary command on a remote
computer into a local file, such that on repeated invocations only
differences are transferred (requires librsync).
