Mastooreh (Negin) Salajegheh

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Science department of University of Massachusetts Amherst. My advisor is Kevin Fu and I am a member of SPQR group. My research interests are broadly in security and low power devices. My current approach rethinks digital abstractions to make memory storage more energy aware for low-power devices such as Computational RFIDs and medical devices while preserving security. For more information, check my publications.
