Research Summary

My interest lies at the intersection of High speed networks and Computing. Specifically interested in exploring mechanisms that address cross layer concerns such as security and power.

Recent research focuses on

  1. Identify encrypted applications
    1. using machine learning
    2. using in-band and out-of-band information leaked
  2. Protecting resource constrained devices from security attacks
  3. Proposed a non-linear optimization solver based on formal language to explore and identify power efficient architectures from a large search space
