About

Anitha (Boyapati) Gollamudi is a Computer Science PhD candidate at Harvard University, advised by Stephen Chong. Her research enforces security in software applications against powerful cyber attackers. Specifically, she leverages Trusted Execution Environments, a hardware based technology, to provide formal guarantees in security-critical applications. Her work enables a step closer towards secure collaboration of mutually distrusting parties by still maintaining their compliance to privacy governing laws such as HIPAA and FERPA. Prior to joining graduate school, Anitha was a compiler engineer at Atmel and Advanced Micro Devices. She was one of the early engineers to develop AVR-GCC compiler toolchain. Besides research, she is interested in writing children books that specifically introduce diverse cultures to very young children, including her one year old toddler. Her first picture book is expected to be released soon. Anitha holds a bachelor's degree from Andhra University, India.
