I am an Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Idaho, where I joined the faculty in 2018. My research focuses on the security of critical infrastructures — network security, side-channel analysis for legacy systems, fuzzing of embedded systems, and formal methods. I am also actively exploring the integration of AI and cybersecurity, and I build realistic testbeds and curate security-focused datasets to support reproducible research.
Before joining the University of Idaho I was a Research Assistant Professor under Prof. Angelos Stavrou in the CS Department at George Mason University. I received my Ph.D. in 2014 from the University of the Aegean under Prof. Georgios Kambourakis.
I’m seeking students who wish to pursue a PhD on state-of-the-art cyber-security research. All PhD students are fully funded (tuition & stipend). Strong programming (preferably C and Python) & math skills (linear algebra, calculus) are essential. Background in AI, GANs, LLMs, Side-Channel Analysis, Fuzzing, or Formal Methods is highly regarded.
