Undergraduate Research Mentor — MAIS Laboratory
Research Mentorship, Microarchitecture and Artificial Intelligence Security Laboratory (MAIS), Iowa State University, 2023
Period: 2023–2025
Mentored multiple undergraduate researchers (3 students) on projects at the intersection of machine learning and hardware security. Key outcomes:
- One mentorship led to the peer-reviewed publication: “Systematical Evasion From Learning-Based Microarchitectural Attack Detection Tools” (IEEE JETCAS, Dec. 2024).
- An ongoing project under my supervision focuses on DimShield, a runtime defense framework for adversarial attacks against machine learning models, currently under preparation for journal submission.
- Provided weekly guidance on research methodology, paper writing, and experimental design.
