Where neuroscience
meets security.

My research at Aether explores 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

BCI Security primary

Threat modeling for brain–computer interfaces, identifying attack surfaces across acquisition, transmission, processing, and inference stages.

Neural Data Encryption primary

Approaches to protecting neural signals — at rest and in motion — without compromising the real-time constraints of BCI systems.

Resilient System Protection applied

Designing BCI architectures that fail safe, isolate compromise, and remain operational under adversarial conditions.

Neural Signal Processing foundational

Processing pipelines for prosthetic control and human–machine interaction — the substrate everything else builds on.

AI-Driven Biomedical Systems applied

Bridging neuroscience and AI for real-world applications in biomedical engineering and assistive technologies.
