Cesar Arguello

Ph.D Student in Computer Science

I am a PhD student at Dartmouth College working with Dr. David Kotz and Dr. Tim Pierson. My work focuses on the development of Harmonic Radars (Non-Linear Juction Detectors) for the detection of consumer electronics.

My research interests include different aspects of cybersecurity, such as side-channel analysis, wireless network security, and exploitation of systems.
