About Me
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Science program at
the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).
I received an MEng in Information Security from Tehran Polytechnic (AUT)
and a BEng in Information Technology from the University of Mazandaran.
I have a demonstrated history of computer security and privacy research in areas including web security,
malware analysis, and cryptanalysis. My current focus is on exploring
web browser side-channels and mitigation techniques in an effort to improve data security and user privacy on the web.
Prior to joining NJIT, I worked as a security and privacy researcher at APA Research Center at AUT.
I was born and raised in Mazandaran, Iran.
