Armin Babaei

Armin Babaei is a Ph.D. researcher at the University of Duisburg-Essen (Uni DUE) within the Department of Computer Science, focusing on hardware security solutions for IoT devices. He holds an M.Sc. in Communications Engineering from RWTH Aachen and previously served as CTO in a startup for two years.

• Education: M.Sc. in Communications Engineering (RWTH Aachen) since 2015

His research integrates Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) with FPGA technology to develop secure, low-power authentication mechanisms for IoT systems. Publications highlight innovations in reconfigurable security architectures and spatial PUF implementations.

Current research interests emphasize balancing security requirements with computational constraints in embedded systems. Key themes include:

• Hardware security for resource-constrained devices
• PUF-based authentication protocols
• Energy-efficient cryptographic solutions
