Workshop Paper
Hardware Security Evaluation in gem5: Benchmarking Microarchitectural Attacks
Elise Song, Daphne Han, Joshua San Miguel · Gem5 Workshop, 2026.
Introduces a taxonomy of microarchitectural attacks and a gem5-based benchmark suite for evaluating them, with preliminary Prime+Probe experiments benchmarked against CEASER and cache-line-locking defenses.
Projects
Intelligent Pricing System
An analytics platform built with Greenheck Group for discount request analysis.
Details
An analytics platform built with Greenheck Group, for discount request analysis and insight into orders. The application helps pricing teams predict deal outcomes and manage risk through an end-to-end workflow for submitting discount requests, analyzing historical pricing patterns, and surfacing model-driven recommendations. We used an XGBoost win-probability classifier, a LightGBM pricing elasticity model, and a margin risk and multiplier optimizer.

Pursuit-Evasion Markov Game
A research project comparing solution methods for a zero-sum pursuit-evasion Markov game.
Details
A research project comparing approaches to a zero-sum pursuit-evasion Markov game with two agents on a 3x3 grid. We began with a NashQ algorithm using Q-planning and fictitious play to solve each state's Nash equilibrium, then moved into policy-gradient methods including REINFORCE and A2C, with a focus on variance, convergence, and reward grid symmetry.
Processor
A 5-stage pipelined RISC-V processor built in Verilog.
Details
A processor built in Verilog with a 5-stage pipeline, branch prediction, and hazard detection. The processor implements a subset of the RISC-V instruction set architecture, and is capable of running simple programs written in assembly language.
