I am a member of the IEEE, ACM, TBP, and HKN. My research interests include machine learning applications in national security, hardware security and assurance, artificial intelligence of Things, and robotics.
Researcher
My most recent role was Postdoctoral Research Associate within UF FINS. There, I was researching on problems relating national security and hardware assurance. While I was PhD student, I worked as graduate research assistant with the Nanoscape Research Group under the supervision of Dr. Swarup Bhunia. My research work there involves modular and reconfigurable IoT sensor platform, IP countermeasures on structured ASIC technology and control software for a smart mask technology to prevent COVID-19 spread. I am a named inventor in a number of US patents and has published several peer-reviewed articles.
