Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolIvan Petrov is a software engineer and security researcher with a PhD from Lomonosov Moscow State University and over a decade of experience building secure, distributed network systems. He has a strong track record in SDN and network-level malware detection, having developed compromised-switch detection algorithms and shellcode filters presented at DEF CON, HITB and Positive Hack Days. At Google Research since 2019 he applies research-grade security engineering to backend systems and has contributed security and attestation features to the Oak project, including gRPC-based remote attestation and trusted shuffler templates. His background blends academic rigor with practical R&D—implementing resilient in-band control channels and OF-DPA support for Metro WANs—so he comfortably moves from proof-of-concept research to production-ready security infrastructure.
