Research
My main application and research interests are in the areas of SOC design and architectures, real-time embedded systems design with application to intelligent transportation systems, and applied cryptography. Specifically, I research power issues at various levels of the design abstraction. In the area of security, I study the development of on-chip countermeasure circuits against side-channel attacks and PUF design. In the area of sensors, data acquisition and embedded systems, I am currently developing devices for intelligent transportation systems and electronic nose applications.
