Yanan Guo
Hi there! I am currently a PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh, working with my advisor Dr. Jun Yang in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. I graduated from Xidian University in 2018 with a B.S. in Engineering.
My research interests lie in computer architecture and cybersecurity, with a focus on the following areas:
Microarchitectural side channels.
Memory encryption and authentication.
Memory exploits and defenses.
Research Highlights:
HW: Cache Coherence Attacks [Oakland'22]
HW: Cache Conflict Attacks [MICRO'22]
HW: Uncore Frequency Scaling Attacks [MICRO'23]
SW: GPU ROP Attacks [To appear]
