Assistant Professor (Tenure-Track) — Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, The University of Akron Aug 2026 – Present
Research Assistant — Microarchitecture and Artificial Intelligence Security Laboratory (MAIS), Iowa State University Aug 2021 – Nov 2024 | Aug 2025 – Aug 2026
Investigated side-channel and speculative execution vulnerabilities, including new leakage pathways in containers, sandboxes, Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), and serverless cloud systems; designed deep learning–based detection and mitigation techniques; and developed uGen, an agentic framework for generating microarchitectural attack proof-of-concepts with LLMs.
Research Intern — Telefónica Innovación Digital, Barcelona, Spain Nov 2024 – Apr 2025
Analyzed co-location methods in cloud environments and evaluated the feasibility of microarchitectural side-channel attacks in serverless platforms, particularly Cloudflare’s infrastructure.
Research Administration Intern — Centre for Multiphase Flow Research and Education (CoMFRE) and Iowa Water Center (IWC), Iowa State University May – Aug. 2025
