Mohammed Niamat

Dr. Mohammed Niamat is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Toledo, part of the College of Engineering. His research focuses on hardware security, FPGA design, quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA), cryptography, and smart grid infrastructure. He holds a primary appointment at the University of Toledo, with contact details at 2008 Nitschke Hall.

Research interests include Built-in-Self Test (BIST), fault-tolerant hardware, secure FPGA supply chains, and role-based access control. His work emphasizes securing advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and IoT systems through hardware-oriented authentication and PUF (Physical Unclonable Function) techniques.

Key publication trends highlight advancements in FPGA security, machine learning countermeasures against PUF attacks, and blockchain-integrated frameworks for hardware trustworthiness. Recent projects address vulnerabilities in ring oscillator PUFs and lightweight cryptographic solutions for IoT.

Dr. Niamat has contributed to over 40 publications since 1986, spanning topics from power system stabilizers to nanoscale QCA logic synthesis. His work bridges theoretical computing and practical applications in high-performance systems.
