About Me
Published on 8-Dec-2024
Hi! My name is Gijs Burghoorn. I am passionate about Hardware Design, Security, Electronic Design Automation 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 - 2024 | TU Delft | PhD Candidate | Not Concluded |
Work
After a brief stint at the TU Delft as a PhD candidate, I started working at Polars as a Rust Software Engineer. Here, I spend most my time optimizing low-level code, fixing reported problems and extending the functionality to support a wider range of usecases. The big benefit of working at Polars is that almost all the work I do is open source. You can find that here.
Below are some other open source projects that I worked on.
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.
