Hi!đź‘‹

I am a Ph.D. candidate at Vernam Lab, WPI, advised by Berk Sunar.

My current research interests are

  • Microarchitectural (ÎĽarch) security
  • Side-channel and Fault Injection attacks
  • Attacks on ML models and other critical software
  • Automated detection and patching of ÎĽarch vulnerabilities using AI

Outside of work, I do Aikido, scuba diving, sailing, tango…
