Benedict Schlüter is a PhD student and Scientific Assistant at ETH Zürich with nine years of experience in system security, hardware architecture, and OS-level defenses. He combines strong academic credentials—top-ranked BSc/MSc results and multiple awards—with hands-on industry work as a security software engineer and consultant, including early contributions to Edgeless Systems' Constellation. His practical focus spans Linux internals, cryptanalysis, and cloud-native tooling like Kubernetes, and he has discovered multiple Spectre-class vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel. Comfortable teaching and mentoring as a recurring TA, he bridges theoretical rigor and applied engineering to advance secure, reliable systems. Notably, his background in both electrical engineering and IT security gives him an edge when analyzing low-level hardware-software interactions.
