Christian has been working with the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity (FICS) Research under the advisory of Dr. Patrick Traynor since he began his PhD. at the University of Florida in 2016. His primary research interests are in both cellular network security and digital payment security. Additionally, Christian has also worked on published research in the spaces of adversarial machine learning and usable security. Christian authored over 10 publications while at FICS Research, many of which were published at top academic conferences in cybersecurity. These research projects also result in Christian being an author on 4 parents.
