My Team
I got my PhD from the Ohio State University and BE from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Prior to the current job, I worked for Intel Labs for 4 years. My research lies primarily in low-level system and architecture security. A special focus is in software-triggered (micro-)architectural vulnerabilities (e.g. side-channel attacks and transient execution attacks), Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) and secure processing architecture design.
