- Indian students from Indian undergrad universities applying for internships to Indian professors: you need not use terms like freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior years. We understand 1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year, and 4th year 😉
- Hi all, I will be joining @UBC_CS as an Asst. Prof. in Jan 2021. I am looking to hire PhD and MS students from diverse backgrounds to join my group. If you are interested in building secure cloud systems, reach out to me. aasthakm.github.io
- I have multiple PhD openings in my group. If you are interested in building systems or security solutions for cloud, datacenter, or serverless applications, apply to UBC CS by December 15:
- My sentiments right now, after our paper "Pacer: Comprehensive Network Side-Channel Mitigation in the Cloud" got accepted @USENIXSecurity '22! 🙂🙂🙂First author, finally getting that paper accepted after 5 years:
GIF - My student, after our weekly reading group: [...] the paper made me believe that there are no separate research directions as "security" and "system" research. Security considerations should be taken into account at the system design level. 😇
- Happy to share that our paper NetShaper with @Amir__Sabzi, @rutvora, Swati, @margo_seltzer and @mathias_lecuyer will appear at @USENIXSecurity '24. We present a novel differentially private traffic shaping solution to mitigate network side channel leaks in Internet apps.
- Also received a similar recognition from the dean @ubcscience for my grad course on systems security last term (tinyurl.com/aastha-cpsc538m). It's satisfying to see courses from @UBC_Systopia @UBC_CS adding value to students' careers.Received a letter from the dean today. Seems I've received some of the highest student experience of instruction scores last term in the faculty of science @UBC for my course CPSC436A Operating Systems Design and Implementation.

- Apply to Systopia Lab at UBC! I am specifically looking to hire PhD and MS students with background in operating systems, systems security, or cloud security. If you are interested, please reach out to me and apply here: cs.ubc.ca/students/grad/….The Systopia lab at UBC (systopia.cs.ubc.ca/people) is recruiting graduate students. Systopia is made up of 6 research-active faculty members and more than 30 graduate students working in all areas of systems. 1/3
- Indian cricket team is actually making me fall in love with them and the game. Supporting each other is the way to success: a lesson that could be imbibed in many facets of life, including academia. #Cricket #BCCI #INDvAUS #AcademicTwitter
- On my way to Koblenz for #SOSP2023. Looking forward to fun interactions with systems researchers. Watch out for the SRC and the posters. Also, chat with me if you are interested in faculty positions @UBC_CS or graduate positions in @UBC_Systopia.
- Everything about this comic (including the rain) hits too close to home.When you want to go home even while you're building another.
- Our proposal for a digital contact tracing system #PanCast that goes beyond smartphone-based solutions. It's a joint collaboration with Gilles Barthe, @rdeviti, Peter Druschel, Deepak Garg, @autreche, Pierfrancesco Ingo, @mattlentz_ & @bschoelkopf. pancast.mpi-sws.org#PanCast: Listening to Bluetooth Beacons for Epidemic Risk Mitigation. White paper summarizing the preliminary results of a working group spanning three Max Planck Institutes. arxiv.org/abs/2011.08069
