The goal of this webinar is to present vulnerabilities introduced during various stages of design life-cycle, CAD tools and methodologies for security assessment and detecting security vulnerabilities, countermeasure tools and methodologies for addressing each vulnerability, and challenges and research roadmap ahead.

Speaker Bio:

Dr. Farahmandi is an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and the associate director of Edaptive Computing Inc., Transition Center (ECI-TC) at the University of Florida. She received her Ph.D. from the Department of Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) at the University of Florida, 2018.  Her research interests include hardware security verification, formal methods, fault-injection attack analysis, side-channel leakage assessment,  information leakage, secure physical design,  secure supply chain of microelectronics, and post-silicon validation and debug. Her research has resulted in four books, nine book chapters, and several publications in premier ACM/IEEE journals and conferences including IEEE Transactions on Computers, IEEE Transactions on CAD, Design Automation Conference (DAC), and Design Automation and Test in Europe (DATE). Her research has been recognized by several awards including IEEE System Validation and Debug Technology Committee Student Research Award, Gartner Group Info-Tech Scholarship, a nomination for the Best Paper Award in ASPDAC 2017, and DAC Richard Newton Young Student Fellowship. She currently serves as an Associate Editor of IET Computers & Digital Techniques. She also has served on many technical program committees as well as organizing committees of premier ACM and IEEE conferences. Currently, she is vice program chair of IEEE HOST 2021. Her research has been sponsored by SRC, DARPA, AFRL, DoD, Analog Devices, ANSYS, and Cisco. She is a member of IEEE and ACM.
