Howdy!

I am Sonjoy Kumar Paul, a third-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University, advised by Dr. Nitesh Saxena in the SPIES — Security and Privacy In Emerging computing and networking Systems — research lab. My research sits at the intersection of cybersecurity, cognitive security, and brainwave privacy, with broader interests in usable security, end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) messaging, and neuro-security. I design attacks and defenses that connect human cognition with system security — for example, inferring speech and identity from consumer brain–computer interface (BCI) headsets, detecting whether users actually comprehend security warnings from their gaze and cursor dynamics, and uncovering device-linking weaknesses in E2EE messengers.

My work has been published at venues including USENIX Security and the APWG eCrime, with five additional papers currently under review.

Before my Ph.D. journey, I spent five years as a C++ software engineer (most recently Senior Software Engineer) at CodeCrafters International Ltd., building large-scale portfolio-management and credit-analysis software — a codebase of over 2 million lines used by Fortune 500 firms. There I developed deep expertise in system design, code review, and efficient data structures. I hold a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Dhaka, Bangladesh.

🔍 Actively seeking internship/co-op opportunities from Fall 2026, where I can bring together my research in cybersecurity, usable security, and applied ML with my industry software-engineering background. If you're hiring or think we might collaborate, I'd love to connect!
