Quantum Systems
Quantum Systems Security & Reliability
We study how noise, shared resources, control layers, and emerging system architectures affect the security and reliability of quantum computing and communication.
Louisiana State University · Computer Science & Engineering
Secure. Resilient. Sustainable. By design.
We investigate the security and reliability of classical and emerging computing systems—from physical hardware to quantum platforms.
Research
Systems that remain trustworthy under real-world stress.
Our work spans hardware security, quantum systems, heterogeneous platforms, and safety-critical autonomous systems.
Hardware
Hardware Security & Reliability
We develop practical methods to assess and protect computing hardware against physical attacks, faults, and reliability failures across the system lifecycle.
Emerging Platforms
Heterogeneous & Integrated Systems
We investigate security and trust in increasingly heterogeneous computing platforms where multiple technologies, components, and actors interact.
Cyber-Physical
Autonomous & Safety-Critical Systems
We explore functional safety, resilient sensing, and security mechanisms for autonomous and safety-critical computing systems.
Featured work
From emerging quantum platforms to physical hardware assurance.
The lab combines security analysis, system modeling, sensing, and reliability-aware design across multiple computing layers.
