I am currently looking for two motivated PhD students to join my research group. My lab will focus on trustworthy IC design, secure EDA, hardware Trojans, reverse engineering, circuit obfuscation, cryptographic accelerators, PUFs, TRNGs, and the use of LLMs, MPC, and ZKPs in hardware security. Ideal candidates should have a background in Electrical or Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, with experience or a strong interest in VLSI design, EDA tools, and hardware security concepts. Programming skills in Verilog, SystemVerilog, C++, and Python are highly valued. These fully funded positions offer access to advanced EDA tools, collaborative industry opportunities, and support for publishing at top-tier venues. To apply, please send your CV and academic transcripts to
xaainulabideen@gmail.com. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to share this opportunity!
