Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMališa Vučinić is a research scientist at Inria with 11 years of experience designing secure protocols and implementations for constrained IoT and industrial networks. He led the design of the Constrained Join Protocol (RFC 9031) and co-chairs IETF LAKE, bridging standardization and practical deployments. His work spans embedded firmware (OpenWSN), protocol dissectors and security enhancements in Wireshark, and optimized crypto for ARM microcontrollers—demonstrating both low-level systems skill and protocol-level security design. A PhD in network security and a track record of open-source contributions underline his ability to turn standards into interoperable, testable code. Colocated in Paris, he combines academic rigor with hands-on engineering, often delivering hardware-accelerated and test-suite-backed solutions for real-world IoT constraints.
