Students will work on cutting-edge research problems on computer hardware and system security. The work would involve experimentation on attacks and defenses on real systems through programming on CPU/GPU/FPGAs. Students will also gain hand-on experiences about how to hack into hardware and more importantly how to protect state-of-the-art computing systems from being compromised by adversaries.
