About Me
Published on 31-Mar-2021
Hi! My name is Gijs Burghoorn. I am a PhD candidate at the TU Delft, the Netherlands, who is passionate about Rust, Hardware Design, Security and contributing to open-source software.
Education
Over the years, I studied with a primary focus on computer security, software design and cryptography. Below is an overview of all the major parts of my education.
| Year | University | Program | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 - 2020 | Leiden University | Mathematics | Not Concluded |
| 2018 - 2021 | Leiden University | Computer Science | |
| 2021 - 2022 | Université Grenoble Alpes | Informatics | |
| 2022 - 2022 | TIMA | Research Intern | Fault Injection through Clock Glitching |
| 2022 - 2023 | Université Grenoble Alpes | Cybersecurity | |
| 2023 - 2023 | TIMA | Research Intern | Microarchitectural Emulation & Cache Timing |
| 2023 - 2027 | TU Delft | PhD Candidate | RISC-V Hardware Security |
Open source
Open source allows for unrivalled transparency and, although a bit debatable,
trust in the correctness.
What is open source
Open source also allows people to crowdsource production of products. This
allows individuals to help with disclose issues and make suggestion. My personal
projects are (almost) always open source and I try to help with other projects.
Below is a list of a few of my notable projects. Apart from these projects, I try to help and contribute to other crates when I am able to.
Lemurs --- Terminal Login Manager
Lemurs is a Terminal User Interface (TUI) Display/Login Managers written in Rust that works on most GNU/Linux and BSD distributions. It can work both with or without SystemD.
WaveDrom-rs --- Beautiful Programmatic Timing Diagrams in Rust
The wavedrom-rs crate provides an interface to shape beautiful Digital Timing
Diagrams into an SVG. It is almost completely compatible with the
WaveDrom project. It can be merged into document build tools,
continuous integration or be used as a one off to generate beautiful
diagrams.
Riscvonomicon --- The Rust for RISC-V reference book
The Riscvonomicon (pronounced "risk five o-nomicon") provides a reference for using the RISC-V instruction set and the Rust programming language together. It contains information about:
- Utilizing Rust and RISC-V specific crates, tools and environments
- Building, testing, fuzzing and formally verify code for RISC-V written in Rust
- Utilizing RISC-V instructions, intrinsics and extensions in Rust
Rust RISC-V Intrinsics
Implementation of intrinsics for RISC-V operations in the Rust standard library. This work improves the speed, binary size and user experience of RISC-V and Rust.
