Research Areas - Computer Architecture and Security.
Memory Systems Lab, Georgia Tech
I am a final-year PhD Student (expected graduation: Spring’22) in ECE at Georgia Tech, USA, advised by Prof. Moinuddin Qureshi. My research is at the intersection of Computer Architecture & Systems Security.
My research designs low cost and principled security solutions for hardware. I am interested in a variety of topics at the intersection of computer architecture and security, including cache side-channel resilience, transient execution attacks and defenses in processors, rowhammer attacks and memory integrity, memory safety, and others.
Recently, I spent Summer’21 with Prof. Daniel Gruss’s group at TU Graz, Austria, working on attacking memory compression and reverse-engineering new processor micro-architectures.
During my PhD, I have been fortunate to intern at several industry labs, including ARM Research (Summer’17) on DRAM integrity solutions, Intel Labs - Security (Summer’18) on low-cost memory safety, Microsoft (Summer’19) on principled defenses against processor-speculation attacks, and IBM Research - Security (Summer’20) on hardware for memory-safety.
I received my B.Tech & M.Tech in Electrical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology - Bombay, India, with a Minor in Computer Science.
