Biography

Ahmed Ferozpuri graduated Cum Laude from George Mason University in 2007 with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and a B.S. in Computer Science. After graduating, Ahmed worked for various DoD contractors in Northern Virginia specializing in cell-phone based electronics, network analysis, and radar systems. He gained experience developing and designing embedded systems, high-level C++ programs for network analysis, and Java programs for data visualization. As an independent contractor, Ahmed has developed professional websites and programs using CSS/HTML, PHP, MySQL, Javascript, Flash, and various content management systems.

In Fall 2014 - Fall 2017, Ahmed worked on his M.S. degree in Computer Engineering specializing in cryptography and digital design. During this time he has worked on the following projects;

  • High-speed Hardware implementation of several candidates from the Competiation for Auenticated Encryption: Security, Applicability, and Robustness (CAESAR)
  • Efficient design, implementation and testing of Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) on FPGAs
  • Using Machine Learning to attack PUFs
  • Using FPGAs to secure off-chain computation via Trusted Execution Environments

In Fall of 2017 he defended his Master's thesis.
