Ahmad Shabani

Biography

I am an Assistant Professor at Amirkabir University of Technology (AUT) and recently joined the NSE Division at KTH Royal Institute of Technology as a Postdoctoral Researcher funded by WASP.

I received my Ph.D. in Digital Electronic Systems from the University of Tehran . Since then, my research has focused on different aspects of hardware security and trust, particularly Hardware Trojan detection, PUF-based authentication protocols, and microarchitectural attacks and defenses.

My current research explores microarchitectural vulnerabilities in modern heterogeneous computing platforms, with a particular focus on GPU side-channel attacks and defenses.

I have taught several university-level courses in digital design, computer architecture, digital forensics, and cyber-physical systems. I also have several years of industrial experience in digital ASIC design, including both front-end and back-end stages of integrated circuit design, the automotive industry, and hardware/software implementation for FPGAs and embedded systems.
