Top School

Nassim Corteggiani is a Security Research Scientist with a PhD from Sorbonne and 11 years of hands-on experience securing embedded systems and SoCs across industry and academia. He has built production-grade, automated tools for hardware/firmware co-testing and hardware fuzzing—work that spans contributions like Intel Labs' PreSiFuzz and an in-house distributed, feedback-guided fuzzing tool for simulated hardware. His background includes pre-tape-out security evaluations at Maxim, NXP and Micron, plus collaborative research on fault attacks, concolic execution and firmware re-hosting at EURECOM and with Siemens/EU projects. Nassim blends low-level expertise (ARM and RISC-V platforms, RTL instrumentation, FPGA emulation, glitch attacks) with practical tooling (symbolic execution, fuzzing, static analysis) and mentors masters students while delivering training to business teams. He is particularly interested in pushing automated hardware/software co-testing forward, turning academic methods into scalable, industry-ready tooling. Based in France, he bridges deep research rigor with fast-paced engineering to harden next-generation silicon.
