Summary
Debopriya Dipta is a Ph.D. candidate and research assistant in Computer Engineering at Iowa State University with over a decade of hands-on experience probing microarchitectural and side-channel vulnerabilities across Intel, AMD, and ARM platforms. For more than four years in the MAIS Lab she has combined low-level hardware analysis with deep learning to both characterize attacks—especially in serverless and cloud co-location scenarios—and to develop defenses. Her work spans feasibility studies of real-world cloud side-channel exploits, designing robust co-location detection methods, and translating microarchitectural signals into ML-driven mitigation techniques. Alongside research, she has supported grant administration and taught reverse engineering labs, showing a rare blend of technical depth, communication skills, and operational research experience.
