About Me

I am interested in security, privacy, and trustworthy machine learning for smart connected, wearable, and immersive computing environments. My research focuses on designing secure and reliable sensing and learning systems that support trustworthy digital interactions across emerging technologies such as AR/VR/MR, Internet-of-Things devices, biometric systems, and intelligent infrastructure. Specific research interests include cybersecurity, privacy-preserving sensing, biometric and active authentication, side-channel vulnerability analysis, trustworthy AI, multimodal machine learning, and resilient cyber-physical systems. My group develops practical machine learning methods and security frameworks for applications including wearable and XR devices, brain-signal and behavioral biometrics, attack-averse authentication, side-channel attack formulation and defense, trustworthy digital twins, physics-aware 3D scene reconstruction, and reliable multimodal foundation models.

My group is currently focusing on the following directions:

My research group, Secure Sensing and Learning (SSL) Research Lab , is located in the Engineering Education and Research Building (EERB) at the University of Wyoming. Before joining UWyo in Fall 2019, I completed my Ph.D. from Syracuse University, EECS in 2019. Prior to that, I received my M.S. in Mathematics from Louisiana Tech University in 2014, and M.S. in Computer Applications from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi India in 2011.
