Short Biography
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at Miami University. Previously, I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Florida, where I worked closely with Prof. Shuo Wang.
I am mostly interested in the intersection of deep learning, security, and digital hardware design, with a focus on analyzing, identifying, and mitigating cybersecurity threats that target hardware vulnerabilities. For this reason, I care deeply about building secure and trustworthy intelligent systems through hardware–software co-design, understanding their weaknesses, and developing effective defense mechanisms accordingly. I am also interested in exploring how modern AI techniques, such as Large Language Models, can be applied to the hardware security domain.
Openings: I am currently looking for new Ph.D. students with financial support provided. Recruited students are expected to work in the areas of hardware security and cybersecurity areas as well as in emerging areas such as AI security and autonomous vehicle implementations. If you are interested in these opportunities, please send me an email with your CV and transcripts attached.
