Hi, I'm Aastha Mehta
I am looking for PhD students to join my group at UBC!
Students with an interest and background in systems and/or security, please apply here.
I am a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the CS Department, University of British Columbia. I am affiliated with the Systopia Lab and the Security and Privacy Group.
I am broadly interested in systems security, data privacy, operating systems, networking, and distributed systems. My current research focuses on building principled systems for ensuring data security and privacy in cloud and edge platforms. I look at improving the security of both existing applications as well as emerging applications.
Past: I completed my PhD with Peter Druschel and Deepak Garg from Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS). Before my PhD, I worked at NetApp, Bengaluru (India), and completed my Bachelors in Computer Science from Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Pilani (India).
