He received his Ph.D. in Software Engineering in 2015 from McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada. His research interests include cybersecurity assurance and security-by-design, covert channel analysis, distributed multi-agent systems, and formal methods and algebraic approaches for software engineering. His current research aims to address critical issues in designing and implementing safe, secure, and reliable systems. He is working towards the development of methodologies for developing intrinsically secure and resilient software-dependent systems. Dr. Jaskolka is also currently working with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Critical Infrastructure Resilience Institute on designing and developing critical infrastructure cybersecurity assessment methodologies and associated modeling and simulation environments.
