Welcome to Michael J. May's homepage at the University of Pennsylvania.

Research

Publications

I'm a Ph.D. candidate in the Penn Computer Science Department.  I am currently seeking academic and research jobs.  Please see my application materials page for supporting documents.

I work with Prof Insup Lee's Real Time Systems Group and Prof Carl A. Gunter's Illinois Security Lab. You can see some of our work on the RTG wiki, the Illinois Security Lab TWiki (passworded), and the Illinois Security Lab page.

My interests are in security, formalizations of privacy policies, location based services, and formalizations of privacy legislation.  I've done some work on location privacy and how it is dealt with in both wired and wireless systems. The Penn Security Seminar has talks of interest in that area.  I'm also part of the WSEmail project. Recently I've begun working with the IR2FM group on extracting traceable formal models from privacy regulations, in particular HIPAA.  One formalism that we are developing now is called Privacy APIs.

My advisors are Insup Lee and Carl A. Gunter. I completed my WPE-II report on location privacy systems.
