Project details
02BU / 2025—26
Kernel as a shared object
A prototype for loading the Linux kernel as a dynamic shared object, enabling runtime-adjustable privilege boundaries across the system.
03BU / 2025—26
Cross-VM page cache attacks
Measuring the reach of page-cache side channels across gVisor, Firecracker, and KVM/QEMU with sub-microsecond experiments.
04BU / 2025—26
Dynamic linking beyond Linux
Porting musl libc and its dynamic loader to Quest, a research real-time OS, to bring PIE and shared-library support to a new kernel environment.
05TUHH / 2022—25
Persistent live firmware patches for CubeSats
Developed a live patching framework for an STM32H753-based CubeSat, using semantic firmware analysis, HDiffPatch/LZMA compression, and the Debug Monitor for patch execution. The instrumentation-free system achieves a 5.9% compression ratio with 127–252 CPU cycles of overhead.
Projects02 / 03
Projects
Selected work spanning embedded hardware, operating systems, drivers, and FPGA acceleration.
Automotive infotainment retrofit
Re-engineered a 1980s OEM car-phone system with custom PCBs, Linux drivers, Bluetooth audio, motion detection, and RF spectral analysis.
Monte Carlo option pricing
Designed a European options pricer for FPGA, applying pipelining, loop unrolling, and resource sharing within LUT and DSP constraints.
GPU LibOS
Restructured device-side resource ownership for persistent CUDA kernel management, reducing per-launch overhead.
