About me

I am an assistant professor in the Systems and Networking Security group at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. I am generally interested in computer systems and security with a special focus on commodity hardware and operating systems. I teach courses on Hardware Security and  Advanced Operating Systems.

I received a PhD from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in 2015 for improving the scalability of cloud infrastructures. During my PhD, I interned twice with Microsoft Research, building software/hardware prototypes for rack-scale computers. I also have an MSc from ETH Zurich and a BSc from Sharif University of Technology. My research is sometimes picked up by popular media, has won multiple prestigious awards and a personal VENI grant over the years.
