I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Computer Security Group at ETH Zurich, led by Prof. Kaveh Razavi. I also teach Computer Security and Computer Engineering in the D-ITET at ETH Zurich.
I completed my PhD at the National University of Singapore (NUS), where I was advised by Prof. Trevor E. Carlson. My PhD thesis explored innovative solutions for building efficient and secure processors through hardware/software co-design. My current research has expanded into broader areas of hardware security, including DRAM read-disturbance vulnerabilities and the formal security analysis of existing and future hardware designs and systems.
My research has been recognized and supported by the School of Computing CS PhD Thesis Award (Honorable Mention), Dean’s Graduate Research Excellence Award, 61st DAC Best Paper Award nomination, President’s Graduate Fellowship (2019-2023), NUSGS Research Incentive Award, and NUS Research Achievement Award.
