I am a professor in
the CSE department
at UC Riverside. My research is
in computer systems, with broad interest including computer
architecture support for security, and graph processing. I also think
about security and privacy of emerging systems including most recently
AR/VR, Large Language Models, and autonomous systems. Some of my
earlier work was in networking and distributed systems, and parallel
computing.
