Welcome!

My name is Yousra Alkabani. I am a first year graduate student at the computer science department, Rice university.

  

I am currently working on  hardware security, and hardware metering schemes to protect integrated circuits with my advisor Prof. Farinaz Koushanfar.

I am also interested in the following:

bullet Computer Architectures, Digital Circuits, and FPGAs
bullet Control Systems, Machine learning, and Robotics
bullet Network Security
bullet Programming Languages, and Compilers
