It’s been about a year since I arrived at ODU! In that time, I’ve been fortunate to work with brilliant colleagues and great students. I’ve started my lab, submitted papers and grants, continued to improve my courses, and settled into ODU. As my research and lab continue to grow, I have some new paper acceptances to announce:

  • “PPIMCE: An In-Memory Computing Fabric for Privacy Preserving Computing”. Haoran Geng, Jianqiao Mo, Dayane Reis, Jonathan Takeshita, Taeho Jung, Brandon Reagen, Michael Niemier, Xiaobo Sharon Hu. Journal of Computer Science and Technology (2025).
  • “Encrypted Post Deployment Calibration on MNIST with CKKS and Chebyshev Polynomials”. Shadman Mahmood Khan Pathan, Qianlong Wang, Jonathan Takeshita, Sakan Binte Imran, Sachin Shetty. IEEE ICNC 2026.

I am pleased to announce that my paper “Duty of Care: A Call for Open and Responsible AI Innovation in Healthcare” has been accepted to the AAAI 2025 Fall Symposium Series, specifically to the Safe, Ethical, Certified, Uncertainty-aware, Robust, and Explainable AI for Health (SECURE-AI4H) symposium. The paper received high scores from reviewers, with many comments agreeing with the paper’s salience and warnings. AI is only “inevitable”1 if nobody does anything about it - this paper is my contribution to cooling down the hype cycle.

It’s been a while since I updated my website! This is the new page for myself and my lab, superseding my page at Notre Dame (though that page will hopefully stay up for a while).

Research programming tips from my time at Notre Dame

(These were originally written during my time as a graduate student. After a bit of time and perspective, I should note that this is tailored to the kind of research that I do, and also to my personal way of doing things, which has worked for me well in the past and hopefully is useful to students at some point. The wise student also knows when and how to ignore these guidelines. A more full description of my programming guidelines for my research group is in progress and should be available Soon(TM).)
