Shubhi Shukla

I am a PhD candidate at Centre for Computational and Data Sciences, IIT Kharagpur working in Secured Embedded Architecture (SEAL) Lab  under the guidance of Prof. Debdeep Mukhopadhyay and Prof. Pabitra Mitra. My primary research focus is on the intersection of machine learning (ML), security, and privacy. I work towards understanding the vulnerabilities and limitations of ML models in the context of microarchitectural attacks, which leverage hardware components' behaviour to compromise sensitive information. Additionally, I'm also exploring the unique security issues that arise in ML frameworks operating on GPU platforms, focusing on identifying and addressing vulnerabilities inherent to these highly parallel and high-performance computing architectures. Lastly, I am also involved in crafting defenses against adversarial attacks, concentrating on developing training techniques that enhance the robustness of models against such threats.
