EECS Nonfaculty Master's Thesis Supervisors

This list, maintained by the EECS Graduate Office, is one of three intended to help department graduate students and undergraduates find research supervisors. The other two lists are of faculty research supervisors and of those authorized to supervise doctor's theses. Office addresses, telephone numbers, Internet addresses, and personal home-page URLs of those listed below are available from the MIT Directory or the on-line MIT Directory.

A description of who is authorized to supervise theses or projects at various levels appears in a page devoted to research supervisors.

Graduate Areas. For purposes of administering the department doctoral program, faculty are loosely affiliated with one or more of six Graduate Areas. The Area chairmen or co-chairmen are listed in a discussion of research supervisors.

Nonfaculty Master's Thesis Supervisors

The following members of the research staff and departmental affiliates have been approved as Master's thesis supervisors.

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

C

Cunningham, R. (Area II)
Information assurance, systems security and evaluation. Anomaly- and model-based intrusion detection systems and malicious code analysis. Evaluation of all aspects of such systems.

I

 Itkis, G. (Area II)
Applied cryptography, security and fault-tolerance of information systems and networks, evolving/self-healing crypto-systems, (group) key management, distributed computation. End-to-end security.

K

 Khazan, R. (Area II)
Secure communications, usable security, and applied cryptography, especially in the areas of mobile applications and disadvantaged communication networks. Standardization of security technologies and the adaptation of standards for government and national security applications. The Master's theses that I supervise typically involve problem analysis, system design, prototype development, and test-bed evaluation.

L

Leek, T. (Area II)
Practical static and dynamic analyses of software for security. Focus on virtual machine based dynamic analyses of binaries involving both OS / application introspection and information flow (taint).

Lippman, A. B. (Areas III, I)
Wireless network communications involving scalable radio that works in realtime independent of any infrastructure. We call these “viral communications” because they simplify innovation. Elements include protocols, radio design, signal processing, media representations and human interaction.

Lippman, R. (Area I, II)
Computer security, adversarial learning, pattern classification, dynamic code testing, computer intrusion detection, neural networks.

Q

Quatieri, T. F. (Area VII)
Digital signal processing; time-frequency analysis of speech and audio signals; signal processing in sound production and auditory frontends; applications to speaker recognition, speech enhancement and modification. (At Lincoln Lab)

R

Rosowski, J.J. (Area VII)
Acoustics and mechanics of external and middle ears. Diagnostic methods for the detection and analysis of auditory impairments and therapies. Acoustic cues used in auditory localization.

W

Weinstein, C. (Areas I, II)
Speech processing, recognition, and understanding. Network and information system survivability and security. (At Lincoln Lab)

Whitney, D.E. (Area I)
CAD/CAM, product development. Mechanical assemblies; computer data models of assemblies.
