Summary
Tobias Albano is a third-year Computer Engineering student at UC Davis with 11 years of practical experience across research, technical production, and service roles. He is currently designing a Linux-capable RISC-V processor with in-processor ML malware detection using Chisel/Scala/Verilog and FPGA toolchains, blending hardware design with applied machine learning. Tobias has balanced hands-on engineering with leadership and operations—from managing live-production lighting teams to supervising campus coffee operations—demonstrating reliability in high-pressure, time-constrained environments. Previous research includes a technical report and public presentations on biodegradable ceramic platforms for coral growth, highlighting an interdisciplinary approach to problem solving. Based in Davis, CA, he brings a rare combination of low-level hardware skills, ML security interest, and real-world project management experience for fast prototyping and deployment.
