Mark Bailey's introductory computer security course, Secrets, Lies, and Digital Threats, pairs teams of Hamilton students with local high school classes to teach teens about the dangers of life in the digital world. He has received fellowships from the National Research Council and the Air Force Research Laboratory and grants from the National Science Foundation and Microsoft Research. He's been a consultant with the Air Force Research Laboratory and Assured Information Security, and his work is widely published in journals and conferences. He received his doctorate in computer science from the University of Virginia.
