About Me
I am an assistant professor at the School of Information Systems and Management (SISM) at the University of South Florida. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of South Florida.
My research focuses on different aspects of cybersecurity and applied cryptography. I am particularly interested in addressing privacy challenges in AI systems, developing post-quantum cryptographic solutions, and enhancing authentication protocols to ensure computation and communication integrity.
Interests
- Privacy-Preserving ML
