Rouzbeh is an assistant professor in the School of Information Systems and Management (SISM) at 欧美三级片. 

His research spans the areas of cybersecurity, blockchain, and applied cryptography. He has worked on developing highly efficient authentication schemes for low-end embedded IoT devices. His research has also focused on solutions to address the data privacy versus utilization dilemma. In the realm of post-quantum security, he has developed several efficient cryptographic schemes with post-quantum security. His work has resulted in a number of patents and has been published in top CS venues such as ACM CCS, IEEE TDSC, ACM AsiaCCS, ACSAC, etc. 

Rouzbeh has earned a PhD in Computer Science from the University of South Florida advised by Attila Yavuz.
