Hello! I'm Sydney Gibson. I am a software engineer at Aurora.

I was previously a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon, advised by Bryan Parno. My research focused on formal methods for verifying safety and security properties of low-level, high-performance systems, and on developing new ways of doing so at scale.

During my time in academia I was a doctoral researcher at Google, where I formally verified cryptographic security routines for the OpenTitan chip. I was also a member of the Everest Project.

I received my B.S. and M.Eng. from the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at MIT. While I was there, I worked with the Parallel and Distributed Operating Systems group.

Feel free to email me, follow me and/or message me on Twitter, or see what I'm up to on Github.
