Wireless Basebands as High-Bandwidth Software Defined Radios

CurriculumTelecommunication Engineering
AdvisorFrancesco Gringoli
Research groupTo be confirmed

I am working on repurposing wireless basebands as low-power, high bandwidth SDRs. This requires reverse engineering both the firmware and hardware, building a high speed interposer board. Currently an intern @ Apple hardware security.

Profile

Short Bio

Hey, I’m Federico/ceres-c, and I graduated in Computer Security at VUSec Amsterdam with a master thesis on Intel microcode voltage glitching. I like all things hardware and low level; previously, I worked on hardware attacks on embedded platforms and I now want to explore the world of radio basebands with their peculiar challenges. I am looking forward to experiment with new (to me) attack vectors such as EMFI and laser glitching. TL;DR My idea of a fun evening is two friends in front of an oscilloscope :)
