Research

Systems that remain trustworthy under real-world stress.

Our work spans hardware security, quantum systems, heterogeneous platforms, and safety-critical autonomous systems.

Quantum Systems

Quantum Systems Security & Reliability

We study how noise, shared resources, control layers, and emerging system architectures affect the security and reliability of quantum computing and communication.
