Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Steiner is a research scientist with over two decades of deep experience in computer security and distributed systems, currently focusing at Intel Labs on hardware-rooted confidential computing and cryptography-based techniques such as fully homomorphic encryption. His career spans senior research roles at IBM Research (including T.J. Watson and Zurich), academic leadership at Universität des Saarlandes, and a Ph.D. from Saarland following an engineering degree from ETH Zürich. Michael combines formal security modeling and cryptographic protocol design with practical systems work in operating systems, group communication, and distributed middleware. He is based in Portland, Oregon, and brings a rare blend of long-term industrial research impact and hands-on innovation in emerging trusted-compute technologies. An understated but notable thread through his work is bridging rigorous theory with implementable solutions that scale in real-world infrastructures.
