I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University. I work in FRIENDS and PurSec labs under the guidance of Prof. Dongyan Xu and Prof. Dave (Jing) Tian. Other than that I also work closely with Prof. Antonio Bianchi. My research interest lies in the area of systems and security. In particular, I am interested in identifying novel architectures and security issues in confidential computing and operating systems. Previously, I have also worked at Siemens (formerly Mentor Graphics) where I contributed to the development of their multi-core frameworks and real-time technologies.
