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, with particular emphasis on network security, side-channel analysis for legacy systems, fuzzing of embedded systems, and formal methods. I am also actively exploring the integration of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. A core aspect of my work involves developing realistic testbeds and curating security-focused datasets to support reproducible research in the field.
Before joining UoI I served as a Research Assistant Professor under the supervision of 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 the supervision of Prof. Georgios Kambourakis.
I’m seeking students that wish to pursue a PhD to join my group and work on state-of-the-art research projects on cyber-security. All PhD students will be fully funded, including their tuition & stipend. Strong programming skills (preferably C and Python) & math skills (linear algebra, calculus) are essential. Background in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Large Language Models (LLMs), Side Channel Analysis, Fuzzing, Formal Methods will be highly regarded.
