Major Career Highlights

  • [2023 NSA NSA Cybersecurity Pathway Workshop] Organizing, along with Wright State University, Cybersecurity Pathway Workshop at Sinclair College, Ohio, to expose community college students to topics in cybersecurity, including network security, information assurance, software protection, artificial intelligence-enabled cybersecurity, and hardware-oriented security. In this workshop, I presented “Side-Channel Analysis: Unveiling the Invisible Threat or Unlocking the Potential.” Next year, we will organize our Pathway workshop in Miami.
  • [2023, MESTCENTER] FIU is a part of the MESTCENTER, led by the University of Florida and Ohio State University. Dr. Rahman is poised to make a valuable contribution in crafting cutting-edge research and training resources tailored to meet the unique needs and interests of the Department of Defense (DoD).
  • [2023, NSF Grant] SeRLoP Research Lab has received a new EAGER grant to develop AI-assisted just-in-time Scaffolding Framework for Exploring Modern Computer Design (link)
  • [2023, NSA Grant] SeRLoP Research Lab has received a hardware security workforce development grant from the NSA. Dr. Fathi Amsaad of Wright State University will lead this effort.
  • [2022, Associate Editor] Springer Nature Computer Science (SNCS) Section on “Emerging Trends in Sensors, IoT and Smart Systems.” Please submit your research articles here.
  • [2022, NSA Grant] SeRLoP Research Lab has received an NSA grant to research unmanned aerial system (UAS) security. This is a collaborative proposal among UF (Dr. Mark Tehranipoor), Auburn (Dr. Mehdi Sadi), and FIU (PI Dr. Mohammad Ashiqur Rahman and CO-PI Dr. Tauhidur Rahman). FIU will lead this $750,000 grant.
  • [2022, CyberFlorida Grant] SeRLoP Research Lab has received a CyberFlorida grant to expand hardware-security awareness and training in South Florida. This is a collaborative proposal among the University of Florida, the University of South Florida, and FIU. FIU will lead this $ 1.4 M effort. Dr. Christian Poellabauer (lead PI) and Dr. Selcuk Uluagac are the other two PIs at FIU.
  • [2021, NSF Grant] SeRLoP Research Lab has received an NSF SaTC grant. [Link]
  • [2019, NSF Grant] Dr. Rahman has been awarded the NSF CRII Grant to develop rowhammer-resistant electronic systems and detect counterfeit memory chips. Link.
