About me
I am Abdulrahman Bin Rabiah, a Senior Systems Security Engineer at Lucid Motors USA, and previously a Machine Learning Security Engineer at Bosch USA. My expertise lies in enhancing security in the IoT and automotive sectors through innovative cryptographic mechanisms and secure communication protocols.
I received my PhD in Computer Science from the University of California, Riverside (UCR), where I was co-advised by Professor Nael Abu-Ghazaleh and Professor Silas Richelson. My research focused on developing lightweight cryptographic mechanisms for resource-constrained devices, such as those used in IoT and embedded systems. My work has not only resulted in multiple publications and patents but also has been recognized in top-tier security venues.
My ultimate goal is the seamless integration of academic research with practical industry applications, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world utility, thereby advancing the field of cybersecurity.
