Aditya Japa

Dr. Aditya Japa serves as a Lecturer in Computer Engineering at Ulster University's School of Computing, Engineering and Intelligent Systems, Derry~Londonderry campus. His academic appointment is housed within the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Built Environment.

His research focuses on cutting-edge hardware security solutions, specializing in Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs), True Random Number Generators (TRNGs), power side-channel analysis countermeasures, secure neural network accelerators, and compute-in-memory security architectures. His work bridges energy efficiency with robust security mechanisms for emerging computing paradigms.

Recent publications demonstrate strong thematic consistency in energy-efficient security implementations, particularly through novel transistor technologies like FeFETs and VGSOT-MTJ structures. His work consistently targets SAT attack resilience while optimizing power consumption in logic locking and memory systems.

Dr. Japa previously held a Research Fellow position at Queen's University Belfast's Centre for Secure Information Technologies. His educational background includes a PhD in ECE from Dr. SPM IIIT Naya Raipur, India, with dissertation work on Tunnel FET based Energy Efficient Circuit Design for Hardware Security.
