  • At Ericsson Research, we have assessed the suitability of CHERI for telecommunication systems that require high performance and fault tolerance. To learn more about our findings, check out our blog post

  • I have been working on CHERI for about a year. It has been a long and educational project for me. I worked on extending the qemu simulator, llvm compiler, Flute core, and CheriFreertos. The preprint for “Mon CHÈRI ♡ Adapting Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC with Conditional Capabilities” is now available here.

  • I hosted Sacha Ruchlejmer from Phelma University as a master’s thesis student. He worked on adapting the secure and rewind discard project to the Arm Morello Board at Ericsson Research. He successfully defended his thesis and graduated from Phelma University; Congrats, Sacha 🎉 You can read his thesis -> Secure Rewind and Discard on Arm Morello.

  • Our paper, “System Call Interposition Without Compromise” has been accepted at DSN 2024! Here, you can check our library and artifact, lazypoline.

  • I had the privilege of speaking at FOSDEM 2024. You can find my talk is here
