About Amir M. M. Farid
I am a Computer Science graduate student at Michigan Technological University working on security, privacy, and reliability for decentralized systems.
My research focuses on designing decentralized infrastructures that can remain dependable when parts of the system are faulty, untrusted, or adversarial. I am interested in systems where data, computation, inference, and trust are distributed across storage nodes, edge devices, IoT environments, and partially trusted infrastructure.
My current work explores secure decentralized storage, trusted-hardware-assisted system design, erasure and network coding, storage-layer security mechanisms, and AI/LLM-assisted techniques for detecting and mitigating malicious behavior in decentralized environments.
