Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGonzalo Carballal is a PhD student in astrophysics at Universidad Complutense de Madrid developing the pointing model for HARMONI, the first-light integral field spectrograph for the Extremely Large Telescope. He brings 15 years of hands-on experience spanning software engineering, cybersecurity, and reverse engineering, having contributed to prominent open-source projects like radare2 and SigDigger. His background blends applied mathematics and signal processing with practical RF and Software Defined Radio experimentation, bridging radioastronomy and communications security. Formerly an IT security consultant and innovation advisor, he combines threat-oriented thinking with rigorous scientific methods. Notably, his contributions to ESIL and x86 analysis in radare2 reflect deep low-level systems expertise that complements his astronomical instrumentation work.
