Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSam T is a security-focused research scientist and software engineer with 14 years of experience building high-performance program and firmware analysis frameworks. He leads development of the Rust-based Fugue open-source binary analysis framework and heads program analysis and automated vulnerability discovery at BINARLY, bridging cutting-edge research with product delivery. His background spans academia (PhD in embedded systems security, former assistant professor at CentraleSupélec) and hands-on consulting for industry players such as Huawei, where he delivered a 40kloc Rust static analysis tool. Sam combines deep language expertise (15+ years C, 10+ years OCaml, 5+ years Rust/C++) with practical reverse-engineering skills that have uncovered real-world vulnerabilities in IoT and automotive firmware. Notably, he built MetaEmu for simultaneous rehosting of ECU firmware and devised grey-box protocol learning that led to CVE discoveries, reflecting an uncommon mix of tool-building and exploitation-driven research. Based in the UK, he focuses on scalable static/dynamic analysis, ML for binaries, and automated discovery of both known and novel firmware threats.
