Director

Arman Roohi

Arman Roohi is currently an assistant professor at the School Computing, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA, where he is the director of the Intelligent Device-2–Applications (iDEA) Laboratory. Before joining UNL in 2020, he was a postdoctoral research fellow with UT Design Automation Laboratory, the University of Texas at Austin. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Engineering at the University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, USA, in 2019. His research interests span the areas of design of cross-layer (device/ circuit/ architecture) co-design for implementing complex machine learning tasks, secure computation, including hardware security, and the security of artificial intelligence, reconfigurable and adaptive computer architectures, and beyond CMOS computing, with emphasis on Spintronics.
