This is the personal site of Joana Trindade. I am a graduate student at University of Illinois in the Master of Science in computer science program. Before coming to Urbana-Champaign, I received a Bachelor of Science degree also in computer science from UFRGS, in Brazil.
Since the beginning of my undergraduate studies I have been involved in several research projects. Currently I am supported by a Siebel Scholar fellowship, Class of 2011. Prior to that I was a research assistant under Prof. Marianne Winslett at the Database and Information Systems Lab (DAIS TMCS). At DAIS TMCS we are developing techniques towards more trustworthy databases and secure storage.
My research interests lie mostly in experimental systems. Besides information security and secure storage/data management, I'm interested in dynamic distributed systems, and in security aspects of virtualization. Last Summer I also worked on data provenance at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, under Dr. Kavitha Srinivas and Dr. Anastasios Kementsietsidis from the Unified Data Analytics group.
