Brooks Olney

Hello! My name is Brooks Olney, and I am a fourth year PhD candidate in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of South Florida. My areas of interest span the broad area of cyber security from software to hardware, including hardware acceleration of algorithms using FPGAs, FPGA security, and Adversarial Machine Learning. I currently am advised by Dr. Robert Karam, you can view our lab's website here.


Prior to my enrollment in the graduate program at USF, I obtained my B.S. degree in Computer Engineering from the same university. I worked as a Software Engineer for several years while completing my undergraduate studies, before progressing to graduate school and focusing on fostering my passion for research. In my free time, I love to play video games, listen to music, and travel. Thanks for taking your time to visit my page! Please look at my publications and recent updates, or my CV if you are interested in my work.


If you are interested in collaboration on a project or just general research discussion with me, please don't hesitate to reach out to my USF email (brooksolney 'at' usf 'dot' edu)! I am always interested in working with other passionate researchers, and even friendly discussion often leads to new interesting ideas.
