About
Me
I am a Master's student in Computer Engineering Program at Virginia Tech. My advisor is Dr. Patrick Schaumont .
News
- May 2009.
I have completed the undergraduate Computer Engineering program here at
Virginia Tech! On to graduate
school!
Research
- Physical Unclonable
Functions (PUFs) in FPGAs.
- FPGA routing and netlist
manipulation.
- Hardware implementation of cryptographic algorithms.
Graduate Courses
- Secure Hardware Design – design of cryptographic
hardware primitives and platforms; passive and active attacks on
cryptographic circuits (differential power analysis) and countermeasures
to these attacks. I implemented
the LANE hash function on FPGAs for the final project
- Cryptography II – modern cryptography theory
including multiplicative groups and rings, finite field arithmetic. Specific cryptographic protocols
including Diffie-Hellman key exchange,
Advanced Encryption Standard, as well as modern cryptographic attacks
such as discrete log problem.
- System on Chip Design – survey course in SoC design with particular focus on heterogeneous multicore systems.
For the final project I explored the issue of IP Reuse for SoC design.
Education
- M.S., Computer Engineering, Virginia Tech, Fall
