Building trustworthy systems for secure distributed computing.

I am a PhD student in Advanced Computing at Morgan State University. My research focuses on systems security, quantum-backed trust services, zero-trust orchestration, and secure distributed systems.

Research

Trust as a Systems Resource

My current research investigates how entropy, keys, and attestation artifacts can be modeled as explicit resources in distributed systems. The goal is to support zero-trust orchestration for TEE-based systems using measurable trust services.

Quantum Entropy-as-a-Service

QEaaS exposes hardware-backed entropy through secure APIs for legacy and resource-constrained devices. The system evaluates throughput, latency, entropy freshness, and trust-service behavior under concurrent workloads.

Quantum Trusted Platform Module

QTPM integrates QRNG-backed entropy with software TPM functionality, supporting stronger cryptographic workflows for IoT and distributed systems.

Teaching

I teach Python programming and computer architecture, including object-oriented programming, pipelines, memory hierarchy, RISC-V, and systems-level debugging.
