Publications
Garbled EDA: Privacy-Preserving Electronic Design Automation
ICCAD 2022
Designed a framework to run chip design tools securely without revealing proprietary IP, using cryptographic multiparty computation.
Active IC Metering Protocol Security with Oblivious Transfer
SRC TECHCON 2022
Built and hardened protocols that prevent unauthorized cloning of chips, using oblivious transfer cryptography.
HWGN2: Side-Channel Protected Neural Networks
SPACE 2022
Developed a hardware framework that lets neural networks run securely on FPGAs without leaking information through power/timing channels.
Projects
Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Implemented and benchmarked MADDPG and DDPG in cooperative and competitive multi-agent environments. Analyzed policy convergence, reward shaping, and inter-agent communication under partial observability.
LLM Compression & Efficient Training
Explored parameter-efficient fine-tuning and model compression for large language models. Participated in the OpenAI parameter golf challenge — minimizing parameter count while preserving GPT training quality.
HabitBuddy
Led end-to-end UX research and iterative design of a companion-based habit tracker — user personas, paper prototyping, heuristic evaluation, and high-fidelity Figma prototype.
