Virgil Griffith

Virgil Griffith is a first year graduate student in computation and neural systems at the California Institute of Technology. On weekdays he studies information theory and neuroscience. On weekends, he uses datamining to make the Internet a better and more interesting place. He gained notoriety as a freshman in college when the fallout from his first paper caused him to get sued under the Sedition and Espionage Act. Recovering from litigation-related injuries, the following year he dropped out of college to join the School of Informatics at Indiana University, graduating three years later. Now under the auspice of expensive Caltech lawyers, Virgil has renewed his security research.
