Justin Feng

I am a third year Electrical and Computer Engineering Ph.D. student at the University of California, Los Angeles. I am a graduate student researcher in the Secure Systems and Architectures Lab advised by Professor Nader Sehatbakhsh. My research focus is on providing unconventional solutions for IoT applications such as communication and device fingerprinting for resource-constrained devices. Some of my interests include embedded systems, IoT, security, and computer architecture.

In addition, I have also enjoyed my past work in areas such as truck platooning, natural language processing, and asynchronous circuits. Each day brings an opportunity to learn something new.

Go Bruins!

Interests

Besides my interests in ECE, I enjoy many activities such as playing basketball and juggling. I also like to hang out with friends and grab a bubble tea.

I have enjoyed exploring the Los Angeles area and visiting places such as Venice Beach and Griffith Park.
