    - Aptamers, short DNA/RNA strands, have applications in diagnostics, therapeutics, and biosensors by binding to specific molecules.- This project introduces a new method using a variational autoencoder (VAE) to generate novel DNA aptamer sequences.- The model is trained on various aptamers targeting molecules like steroids, toxins, proteins, and drugs, showing promise for generating aptamers for different applications.- The approach involves preprocessing aptamer data, training a VAE model, and generating novel aptamer sequences.

    - FPGAs are versatile and used in critical sectors like industry, medicine, automotive, and defense for their runtime reconfigurability.- This research introduces a proof-of-concept approach for identifying hardware Trojans (HT) in FPGAs using unsupervised machine learning, eliminating the need for HT reference models.- Propose an unsupervised machine-learning method that transforms FPGA configuration bitstreams into encoded vectors, allowing for HT detection solely based on extracted layout information.- This research provides a promising solution to enhance FPGA security in critical sectors like industry, medicine, automotive, and defense by addressing HT vulnerabilities.
