Summary
👤
SeniorStephen Herwig is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at William & Mary with 13 years of experience specializing in systems security, particularly protecting applications in untrusted environments like the cloud. His research blends operating and distributed systems extensions with trusted hardware and applied cryptography to create practical defenses that bridge research and deployable systems. He focuses on elegant, low-overhead mechanisms to harden software stacks rather than ad hoc patches, and often explores how OS and hardware features can be recomposed to reduce trust surfaces. Based in Williamsburg, Virginia, he pairs academic rigor with hands-on system design and an eye for building solutions that scale beyond prototypes.
