Summary
Sagar Mohan is a cybersecurity researcher and software engineer with nine years of experience, currently a PhD student and Graduate Research Assistant at Northeastern University after a research-focused MS at University at Buffalo. His work centers on low-level embedded and runtime security—studying ARM Cortex-M, stack canaries, and implementing novel shadow-stack mechanisms for control-flow integrity (SAC'24 acceptance). He has hands-on teaching and grading experience in applied software security topics like buffer overflows, ROP, and side-channel attacks. Based in Boston, he blends deep systems craftsmanship (formerly a heavy Linux customizer) with practical device security know-how, recently pivoting attention toward “big fruit” platform internals.
