Amir Rahmati (born c. July 1989) is an assistant professor of computer science at Stony Brook University, where he also directs the Ethos Security and Privacy lab. Rahmati's research focuses on computer security and privacy, with an emphasis on problems that broadly impact emerging technologies.[1]
Education
[edit]Rahmati was awarded the B.Sc. in Computer Engineering from Sharif University of Technology in 2011, and the M.S.E. and Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2014, and 2017, respectively.[2]
Career
[edit]As a graduate student, Rahmati developed various security mechanisms for Embedded system and internet of things systems. In 2012, he developed A new technology called Time and Remanence Decay in SRAM (TARDIS) that used the predictable patterns in the decay of static RAM (SRAM) to create a short-duration clock. This enables RFID chips to detect potential security threats, particularly brute-force attacks, without requiring new hardware.[3][4] In 2013, Rahmati and coauthors developed a new technology to detect malware on hospital devices by monitoring changes in their power consumption.[5][6] The technology was later used by Virta Labs and deployed in two large US hospitals.[7]
He joined Stony Brook University as an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science department in 2018.[8]
