Summary
Michael Sengelmann is a Vulnerability Research Engineer at Battelle with eight years of hands-on experience bridging electrical engineering and cybersecurity. He holds a B.S. in Electrical Engineering with minors in Computer Science and Mathematics and an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Cincinnati, where he co-founded Cyber@UC and led outreach and SOC-related initiatives. His work focuses on embedded software security, reverse engineering, vulnerability research, IDS implementation, and malware analysis, grounded in a senior-design product line of low-cost digital I/O and motor controllers. Comfortable in both lab and field settings, he has practical experience designing electrical systems for industrial and building projects and shipping security research in a corporate R&D environment. Colleagues describe him as a strong communicator and organizer who scales technical programs—evidenced by a CTF he hosted with 100+ participants—and who intentionally blends hardware insight with software attack-path thinking.
