I explain my research direction, current themes, GitHub research builds, and publication record in a more readable way.
MARC Research Notes
This is where I explain the research side of my portfolio in my own words.
I built this page because paper titles, resume bullets, and short portfolio cards are not enough on their own. Here I explain the research direction, the systems I built, the publication path I am following, and the questions I want to keep working on in a PhD. If you are a professor, admissions reviewer, or research collaborator, this page gives the fuller picture.
Most of the work here stays close to cloud security, serverless defense, Zero Trust security, physical and cloud network infrastructure protection, and dependable AI systems.
The PhD homepage gives the compact version. This page is where I explain the reasoning, implementation, and research path behind it.
Research Direction
This is where I explain the research path I want to keep building in a PhD.
My research direction is shaped by both academic work and real infrastructure experience. I care about questions that matter in actual cloud systems, network security environments, and AI-supported defensive systems.
Research Themes
This part groups the active themes that keep showing up across my papers and projects.
I grouped the themes so the research path is easier to read. You can use the filters to focus on one area, and the theme notes point to a paper or project note that explains that area in more detail.
Research Projects
These GitHub projects show how I move from a research idea to a working system.
Some of these projects grew directly from papers. Others are the systems side of questions I am still exploring. I use this section to explain the idea behind each build, not only show a repo link and leave it there.
Research Publications
This is where I explain the papers and the current pipeline in a way that is easier to follow.
I care about research that stays connected to real security, infrastructure, and systems problems. In this section, I explain what each paper is about, why I worked on it, and how some of the ideas connect directly to the projects on this site.
Closing Note
Thanks for taking the time to read through the research side of my portfolio.
If you reached this point, you now have a clearer view of the direction behind the papers, the systems, and the larger PhD plan. I care about research that is technically strong, honest about real system constraints, and useful enough to matter outside a paper alone.
