I am a PhD student at The University of Adelaide and Ruhr University Bochum. My research interests are in hardware security. Specifically, I investigate side-channel and fault injection security at both the physical layer for ICs and at the lower layers of peripheral communication stacks. In 2020, I earned a B.Eng. (Honours) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and a B.Sc. in Mathematical and Computer Sciences from The University of Adelaide.
