CSULB · Computer Engineering & Computer Science · Launching Fall 2026
TIDES Lab
Trustworthy, Intelligent, Distributed, and Emerging Systems Lab
We work on the security and privacy of distributed and federated AI: systems that have to keep working even when some of the devices, data, or participants can't be trusted. Right now we focus on zero-knowledge and post-quantum methods for federated, decentralized, and edge learning.
What we work on
We work in three directions: proving distributed learning did what it claims, keeping systems reliable when participants misbehave, and using cryptography to check that devices are trustworthy.
Students
The lab works with CSULB undergraduate and MS students, who start on small, self-contained tasks and grow into leading papers.
