Reza Rahaeimehr

Reza Rahaeimehr serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer & Cyber Sciences at Augusta University's School of Computer and Cyber Sciences, teaching courses including Operating Systems, Web Development, and specialized cybersecurity topics.

His educational credentials feature:

• Ph.D. in Computer Science, University of Connecticut, 2019

Dr. Rahaeimehr's research centers on practical cybersecurity vulnerabilities, with pioneering work in acoustic side-channel attacks that exploit keyboard sounds to extract sensitive data. His investigations extend to machine learning security (particularly backdoor attacks in intrusion detection systems) and cryptographic protocols for cloud infrastructure and supply chain management, revealing critical weaknesses in real-world systems.

Publication trends (2018-2023) demonstrate evolving focus from foundational cryptographic security toward AI-driven threat analysis, with recent work emphasizing transfer learning vulnerabilities and acoustic eavesdropping techniques. This trajectory highlights growing industry relevance in hardware security and adaptive defense mechanisms.

No scientific awards are documented in current institutional records.

Dr. Rahaeimehr actively contributes through departmental service as Faculty Advisor for the Undergraduate Courses & Curricula Committee (2023-2028) and professional service on technical program committees for major security conferences including the International Conference on Cryptology and Network Security (2023).
