Portrait of Amirreza Ghafoori

Bio

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Engineering in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech, advised by Prof. Angelos Stavrou in the Networks and Systems Security Lab.

My research focuses on secure system design for 5G/6G networks using Named Data Networking, with an emphasis on zero-trust architectures, and on network measurement in high-mobility settings such as 5G and satellite networks.

I am the student lead on an NSF-funded collaboration between Virginia Tech and UCLA on a security foundation for next-generation cellular networks, with Prof. Angelos Stavrou as PI and Prof. Lixia Zhang (UCLA) as co-PI.
