Biography

Reza Azarderakhsh, Ph.D., is a Full Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science at Florida Atlantic University and the Founder and CEO of PQSecure Technologies. His research focuses on cryptographic engineering with an emphasis on post-quantum cryptography, side-channel and fault attack protections, and efficient hardware/software co-design for embedded systems. He has more than 140 publications in the field of cryptographic engineering and secure protocol design, with a focus on post-quantum cryptography. Dr. Azarderakhsh has extensive experience in implementing and securing PQC algorithms such as ML-KEM and ML-DSA on constrained platforms like ARM and FPGA. He actively contributes to the standardization and deployment of post-quantum cryptography and has played a leading role in transitioning quantum-safe solutions from research to practical, real-world applications.
