I am a PhD candidate at imec-DistriNet at KU Leuven, working on improving the guarantees of TEEs and extending their applicability across the computing spectrum. My recent work includes SGX cloud deployments and real-time availability guarantees for embedded TEEs. This mostly means that I am on the academic side of researching confidential computing but I'm also heavily interested in enabling these technologies for the FOSS audience and bringing it into more practical use for the industry. I like that basically everyone on all sides agrees that we need open source to do this properly.
