معرفی
Riad S. Wahby is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University's College of Engineering. His work focuses on designing secure hardware and software systems, with recent emphasis on cryptographic proof systems. He actively mentors PhD students and collaborates across disciplines in cybersecurity, blockchain, and formal verification.
- PhD in Computer Science, Stanford University
- MEng in Electrical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- SB in Electrical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Wahby's research spans cryptography, blockchain security, zero-knowledge proofs, and secure hardware-software co-design. His work addresses challenges in verifiable computation, privacy-preserving protocols, and hardware subversion resistance.
Recent publications reveal trends in zero-knowledge proof systems (SNARKs, MPC), blockchain security (anonymous blocklisting, decentralized auctions), and hardware-crypto integration (weird machines, verifiable ASICs). Technical focus areas include formal verification, side-channel analysis, and cryptographic compilers.
