I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor at the Department of Cyber Security Engineering at George Mason University.
I received my M.S. and Ph.D. from the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Maryland, College Park, in 2016 and 2018.
My research explores security opportunities in emerging computer architecture, examines the weaknesses in autonomous systems, and builds hardware-derived primitives for developing trusted computation frameworks.
My work has been published at flagship venues in hardware design and security, such as IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration Systems (TVLSI), IEEE Transaction of Computers (TC), ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD), and Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC).
I won the IEEE TC Featured Paper of the Month in 2022, the Best Paper award at IEEE AsianHOST in 2018, the Best Paper Nomination in ACM GLSVLSI in 2017, and A. James Clerk School of Engineering Fellowship in 2012.
My research has been supported by funding and donations from NSF (Grant ID: 2240514, 2042700), NSA, MIPS, NASA-JPL, ARLIS, and Xilinx.
