Where neuroscience
meets security.
My research at Aether (2024 - 2026) explored brain-computer interfaces with a security-first lens: encrypting neural data, hardening the BCI pipeline, and building resilient systems for human-machine interaction.
thesis
Brain-computer interfaces are moving from labs to real applications: prosthetics, assistive tech, biomedical devices. The data they generate is uniquely personal, irreplaceable, and irrevocable. Securing the BCI stack is not an afterthought; it's a precondition for this technology to exist at scale.
focus areas
Threat modeling for brain-computer interfaces, identifying attack surfaces across acquisition, transmission, processing, and inference stages.
Approaches to protecting neural signals, at rest and in motion, without compromising the real-time constraints of BCI systems.
Designing BCI architectures that fail safe, isolate compromise, and remain operational under adversarial conditions.
Processing pipelines for prosthetic control and human-machine interaction: the substrate everything else builds on.
Bridging neuroscience and AI for real-world applications in biomedical engineering and assistive technologies.
