Here is what Mihir Bellare, a professor inwards the subdivision as well as her dissertation co-advisory had to tell when outlining Meiklejohn's merits:
1. Impact: The results inwards Sarah’s thesis bring shaped regime policy. The methods inwards the thesis bring been used to rail cyber-criminals. The thesis has received pregnant media attending (NY Times, Washington Post, radio, TV, ...).Read our even near Meiklejohn's hold out here.
2. Intellectual as well as technical depth: The thesis introduces an innovative novel experimental technique to rail Bitcoins that was used non but to obtain the thesis results but is at 1 time used every moment a fundamental forensic tool past times police enforcement.
3. Independence: Unlike many theses, which write upwardly grouping projects, this 1 was solely Sarah’s work. She lone conceived the thought as well as methods as well as pushed it through from algorithms to reality.
In my xx years of sense at UCSD, I would tell that a thesis amongst 1 of the inwards a higher house elements is rare. To bring all 3 inwards the same thesis is unique as well as extra-ordinary.
