whoami (PhD @UF -> Research Scientist @GeorgiaTech)

I am a cybersecurity researcher with a PhD (2023) and MS (2017) in Computer Science from the University of Florida. My research focus is on supply-chain security in different domains (integrated circuit, additive manufacturing aka 3D printing, etc) and cyber-physical systems security. At Georgia Tech’s School of Cybersecurity & Privacy, I work with an amazing group (CPSec lab) of researchers.
