Top SchoolCharles Palmer is an experienced educator and research leader with four decades at IBM Research where he drove networking, cryptography, security, and privacy research, earned multiple corporate awards, and was issued a dozen patents. He has taught programming and systems at undergraduate and graduate levels for many years, most recently creating a course on Building Reliable And Secure Systems using Rust. As a founder of the first Ethical Hacking consultancy (with Marc Dacier), he blends practical security experience with deep technical R&D and academic instruction.
