Patrick Tague is an Assistant Research Professor at Carnegie Mellon University,
holding appointments in CyLab, ECE, INI, and the Silicon Valley Campus. He received MS
and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Washington and BS
degrees in Mathematics and Computer Engineering from the University of Minnesota. His PhD
research focused on modeling and evaluating vulnerabilities in wireless ad-hoc and sensor
networks and designing networking protocols that are robust to failure and attack. His
general research interests include mobile communication systems, statistical modeling and
inference, and network security.
