About Me

I am a postdoctoral scholar — UCSD CSE fellow working with Nadia Heninger and Deian Stefan. I received my PhD in ECE and MSc in CS from WPI under the supervision of Berk Sunar and Thomas Eisenbarth. I work on computer security and privacy; microarchitectural security, side channels and cryptanalysis, and architectural security primitives. I have also interned at Cisco Talos working on fuzz testing for automated vulnerability discovery and Qualcomm product security initiative (QPSI) working on system-level security of PCIe controllers.
