About

I am a Ph.D student at the Information Systems Engineering Department at Ben Gurion University of the Negev.

I have a B.Sc in Computer Science and Bioinformatics, M.Sc in the Cyber Security track of the Information Systems Engineering Department and am a member of the Implementation Security and Side-Channel Lab under Dr. Yossi Oren.

My fields of research include:

• Mobile and IoT hardware security: especially “hardware meets software” scenarios.
• Side channel information leakage.
