Cybersecurity and Knowledge Computing Lab

Join Our Research Team

We are seeking highly motivated PhD students to join our research group at Tufts University starting in Spring 2026 or Fall 2026. Two positions are available:

  1. Hardware Architecture / VLSI / Hardware Security - Research will focus on novel accelerator design, hardware-software co-design, and secure computing. Background in silicon photonics is a plus.
  2. Trusted AI and AI/ML for Healthcare - Research will focus on advancing trusted and responsible AI including security and privacy, or machine learning for healthcare applications. Prior publication in top-tier conferences is a strong plus.

To apply, please visit this link. Feel free to reach out to me (yingjie.lao@tufts.edu) if you are interested!
