I am currently a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at University of California, Irvine with the prestigious Fellowship Award received from the Belgian-American Educational Foundation (BAEF).

I received my PhD degree in Computer Science Engineering at Ghent University, Belgium in 2017 with a thesis on "Adaptive Routing Algorithms in Networks-on-Chip", and stayed as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Department of Electronics and Information Systems until Dec. 2019.

I am the recipient of the Best Paper Award at the 11th International Workshop on Network-on-Chip Architectures (NoCArc) in Oct. 2018. Moreover, I serve as the TPC member and reviewer of several international conferences and journals.

I am an assistant professor at the department of computer science and Engineering at AUC. Before that, I did my Ph.D. studies as a CYD doctoral fellow at EPFL. I was working with Dr. Mirjana Stojilovic at the Parallel Systems Architecture (PARSA) laboratory led by Professor Babak Falsafi.

My research interests are focused on field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) security. In particular, I look at the possible remote attacks on FPGAs. Furthermore, I am interested in the security of heterogeneous CPU-FPGA systems. I investigate possible attacks on and across system components. The goal is to find the vulnerabilities and design lightweight and effective countermeasures.

I am grateful to have received the CYD Doctoral Fellowship, the Google Generation Scholarship, and the EPFL EDIC Fellowship.

I am a PhD Student at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden under the guidance of Professor Per Stenström. My research focuses on GPU architectures for approximate computing systems.

Research interests include energy-efficient computing, hardware-software co-design, near memory processing, non-volatile memory.
