Information technology: I am interested in encryption and information security technologies. In 2000 I co-founded SafeWeb, a pioneer in SSL VPN appliances, acquired by Symantec in 2003. I also co-founded and served as Chairman of the board of directors of Robot Genius, Inc., an Oakland-based information security startup.
I occasionally work in the theory of modern finance. I am interested in options pricing, volatility, behavioral finance and market efficiency.
I am a scientific advisor to BGI (formerly Beijing Genomics Institute), and a member of its Cognitive Genomics Lab.
