About Me
Hello! I’m Abolfazl Sajadi (Abish).
I was born on October 3rd of, 1993, in Arak, a city in the center of Iran, and my native language is Persian. I obtained a master degree in Electrical Engineering Digital Electronic Systems at the University of Tehran (the most prestigious university in Iran) in 2021. Afterwards, I joined the LIACS at Leiden University as a Ph.D. researcher under the supervision of Prof. Nele Mentens and Prof. Todor Stefanov. Currently, I am working on the PROACT project which is the digital hardware designing of the lightweight cryptographic circuits.
I received my BSc degree in Electrical Engineering from the Mohajer Technical University of Isfahan.
My main interesting topics include Hardware implementation of Cryptographic primitives, Lightweight authentication using Physical unclonable functions, Hardware implementation of machine learning algorithms, System-level HW/SW Co-design, Hardware Security, offensive and defensive approach, and deep artificial neural networks. I believe Neural Networks in the near future can be a perfect solution to most of our problems.
