Arslan Khan
Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering
Pennsylvania State University • INSR
I am an Assistant Professor in the CSE Department at Penn State, and a member of the Institute for Networking and Security Research (INSR). I completed my PhD at Purdue University with the FRIENDS and PurSec labs, advised by Prof. Dongyan Xu and Prof. Dave (Jing) Tian. I also collaborate closely with Prof. Antonio Bianchi.
My research focuses on advancing systems and security—uncovering critical vulnerabilities and architecting secure mechanisms across operating systems, confidential computing, and resource-constrained embedded systems (automotive, industrial control systems, and robotics).
đź“Ś Prospective Students: I currently have no open PhD positions. However, if you are a current PSU student interested in graduate or undergraduate research, please feel free to reach out via email.
