Biography
I am currently a Ph.D. Student and Graduate Research Assistant in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of Florida, under the supervision of Dr. Bobda. At my prior university, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering and a Master’s degree in Electrical engineering. My current research focuses on developing metrics to evaluate the security of Systems-on-Chip and their adherence to the requirements of Zero-Trust Architectures, a new security paradigm focused on implementing the concept of “never trust, always verify” for all system components and users.
