About

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science, Michigan Technological University (MTU). I am Directors of MTU Security and Privacy (SnP) lab and MTU ICC Center for Cybersecurity. I also serve as MTU Point of Contact (PoC) of National Center of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (CAE-R and CAE-CD), designated by the National Security Agency (NSA). My research focus lies on applied cryptography and hardware-assisted data security. I have been actively tackling security and privacy problems in Embedded Systems, Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Cloud Computing, etc. I am a Fellow of EAI (European Alliance for Innovation), a Senior Member of ACM (Association for Computing Machinery), and a Senior Member of IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). I have received the MTU Rath Research Award (2024), the MTU Research Excellence Fund Award (2020), and four Best Paper Awards at EAI SmartSP (2024), EAI AC3 (2021), ACSAC (2017), and ACM CODASPY (2013). I was the founder of International Conference on Security and Privacy in Cyber-Physical Systems and Smart Vehicles (SmartSP). Recently, I have been actively involved in organizing robotics cybersecurity hackathons.
