About me
I am a Radio Frequency (RF) system engineer interested in hardware security and mmWave 5G technologies. My current focus is the development of phased array systems to make the mmWave 5G technology available to the masses.
During my graduate research, I worked on “the intentional electromagnetic interference” attacks in which an attacker aims to manipulate systems with specially crafted waveforms. My goal was to provide hardware-level methods for secure system operation.
