My research interests lie in the security and robustness of over-the-air (OtA) computation, particularly for secure data aggregation in distributed wireless systems. Inspired by applications such as sensor networks and federated learning, I study how wireless channels can be leveraged to aggregate data efficiently while remaining resilient to security threats and practical impairments. This includes investigating protection against eavesdropping, mitigation of malicious jamming, and the broader robustness of OtA schemes. The overarching goal is to develop reliable and secure communication mechanisms for future distributed intelligence systems.
