TEACHING

• Processor Security
• Implementation of Cryptohraphic Schemes

Research

• Computer-Aided Security: Automating and optimizing security into hardware and software systems through formal verification and synthesis to create robust and resilient systems by design.
• Hardware Security and Physical Implementation Attacks: Identification and mitigation of vulnerabilities in physical systems, focusing on Side-Channel Analysis (SCA), Fault Injection Attacks (FIA), and/or Combined Analysis (CA).
• Cryptographic and Security Engineering: Design and implementation of secure cryptographic primitives in hardware and/or software to create reliable and resilient embedded and cyber-physical systems.
