Hello! I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at Temasek Laboratories, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, where my research focuses on a wide range of topics in hardware security. My current work involves the development of advanced fault injection and side-channel analysis frameworks to evaluate and break embedded cryptographic implementations, as well as analyzing the resilience of secure boot mechanisms in microcontrollers and SoCs.
Prior to this, I completed my Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Madras, under the supervision of Prof. Chester Rebeiro. My doctoral research explored multiple facets of fault analysis, vulnerability detection, and the design of effective countermeasures using formal verification and program analysis techniques.
