Excited to present “Half&Half: Demystifying Intel’s Directional Branch Predictors for Fast, Secure Partitioned Execution” at IEEE S&P, with Kazem Taram Shravan Ravi Narayan (Archived. Msg on mastodon) Deian Stefan Dean Tullsen.

I am excited to join UT Austin as an assistant professor this fall! I work on networking + formal methods + wireless systems

My research on the thing I cannot talk about for another two weeks is nominated for the Pwnie Award "Most Innovative Research". Dark Reading Pwnie Awards darkreading.com/edge/meet-the-…

To add to this: Shravan Ravi Narayan (Archived. Msg on mastodon) and I are very interested in co-advising students interested in security + PL!!! Please apply to UT if you are interested in these topics :)
