Brian Blackburn BA(2002)

Brian Blackburn currently lives in England with his wife (also a Duquesne CS alumnus) and children.  He has worked with most aspects of digital communication security, from low-level RF modulations to high-level application design.  Recently, he has been leading an effort to both devise and develop mechanisms to recognize interesting anomalies in very large data sets without the benefit of knowing what "interesting" means beforehand.  Read More...
