Felix Linker is a security researcher and postdoctoral fellow at ETH Zurich with 11 years of experience applying formal methods to security-critical systems. He is an independent consultant and a recognized expert in the Tamarin prover, using protocol verification to produce machine-checked security guarantees and force explicit adversary and assumption modeling. His work spans academic research—PhD in Informatics from ETH Zurich and prior roles in formal logics and non-monotonic reasoning—to industry-focused verification efforts such as formally verifying the ARM ISA. Felix combines deep theoretical rigor with practical system development, having built prototypes for BPMN execution and deterministic benchmark generators earlier in his career. Colleagues know him for translating formal proofs into actionable security assurances that improve design clarity as much as they improve trust.
