Research Interests

      My research interests lie in hardware/systems security with a side on computer systems. Recently my work has been focused on discovering new side channel attack techniques and reverse engineering microarchitectural structures. I’m currently advised by Profesor Chris Fletcher in the BS/MS (thesis) program at UIUC.

Current Project

      I am currently working on a project in hardware security. Specifically, I am reverse engineering hardware and searching for microarchitectural side channel attacks. One of the goals of this work is to bridge the gap between theory and practice as well as changing how we think about microarchitectural security.
