About

I am a computer science graduate student in the Department of Computer Science at Michigan Technological University, where I work with Dr. Bo Chen on secure and trustworthy decentralized systems. I joined Michigan Tech in Spring 2025 and expect to complete my M.S. in Computer Science in Fall 2026.

Before joining Michigan Tech, I earned my B.S. in Computer Engineering from Islamic Azad University and worked with Dr. Mostafa Haghi Kashani on fog computing and IoT-enabled smart cities. Outside research, I enjoy biking and reading.

I publish academic work under my full name, Amirmehdi Moghadamfarid.

Research Agenda

Trustworthy Decentralized AI

I study how decentralized intelligent systems can remain secure, verifiable, resilient, and efficient when participants and infrastructure cannot be fully trusted.

Primary Research Direction: Trustworthy Decentralized AI

I am extending this systems foundation toward decentralized and local inference, verifiable provenance, secure agents, collaborative intelligence, and user-controlled AI.

Systems Foundation: Verifiable Decentralized Infrastructure

My current work focuses on decentralized storage and infrastructure that preserve integrity, availability, recoverability, and verifiability under partial trust.

Research Trajectory

Secure decentralized infrastructure
Trustworthy decentralized inference and agents
Secure, private, and verifiable decentralized intelligence
