Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are integrated circuits often sold off-the-shelf. They're referred to as 'field programmable' because they provide customers the ability to reconfigure the hardware to meet specific use case requirements after the manufacturing process.Create innovative solutions for the purpose of securing the full life cycle of FPGAs and their design flow based on customer requirements.Apply hardware cybersecurity and assurance best practices to current and future FPGA applications.Test and validate the capabilities of FPGA security and assurance tools for use in DoD applications.Support the development of functional testing for FPGAs, by testing and verifying recently developed functional testing tools.Present research to prestigious academic and government conferences.Provide expert insight into contractor or other program technical reviews for FPGA security and assurance tools.Reverse-engineering of the cryptosystems and configuration files used in state-of-the-art FPGAs and their respective EDA tools.
