This lecture features Dina Mahmoud, a doctoral assistant at EPFL, discussing her research on securing heterogeneous systems for accelerating applications like artificial intelligence. She highlights the challenges posed by diverse components in these systems and emphasizes the importance of rigorous scientific methodology to benefit the community. Dina's work aims to address security vulnerabilities that currently limit the use of such systems, particularly in AI applications for fields like medicine. She aspires to continue her research in electronics and computer science while also inspiring young women to pursue careers in these male-dominated fields globally.
