Brendan Louis Wood

Computer Science Information Systems Security Student, Teacher, Researcher

Good Morning! I am passionate about all things having to do with technology. I enjoy keeping up to date with the latest computer development trends in programming languages, networking, and server technology.

My specific interest is in computer security, this is mainly why I've decided to pursue my master degree in computer security.

My research currently is focused on autonomic networking. The focal point of my work centers around a project from the ANIMA (Autonomic Networking Integrated Model and Approach) group, and the security of the protocols and communication involved with this technology.
