معرفی
Seetal Potluri is Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University at Albany, SUNY's College of Nanotechnology, Science, and Engineering. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from IIT Madras and researches trustworthy ML systems, FPGA security, and hardware reverse engineering.
Research addresses security challenges in hardware-accelerated AI systems, focusing on: 1) Model extraction vulnerabilities in neural network hardware; 2) Secure FPGA virtualization for cloud environments; 3) Side-channel attacks on cryptographic hardware; 4) Explainable ML for hardware security validation. Work bridges machine learning theory with hardware implementation security.
Publications demonstrate consistent focus on hardware-level attack vectors (scan-chain exploitation, cache attacks) and defensive strategies (obfuscation, formal verification). Recent work increasingly targets cloud FPGA security and post-quantum cryptography implementations. Research contributions have been recognized with best paper awards at leading hardware security venues.
