Will Stuckey is a hardware R&D leader and embedded systems researcher with 11 years of experience applying formal methods, firmware/hardware security, and microelectronics reliability to mission- and safety-critical cyber-physical systems. As Branch Head at GTRI he leads an 8-engineer team that blends formal verification, side-channel analysis, and full lifecycle PCBA design in an in-house CICADA lab, while his hands-on background includes FPGA and ASIC reliability testing and custom tooling for LTL-based HDL verification. He pairs deep academic training from Georgia Tech with practical embedded prototyping—contributing to robotics codebases like RoboJackets’ RoboCup software and developing architecture-agnostic FPGA bus and cryptography work. Comfortable spanning research, tooling, and operational engineering, he also brings experience mentoring and scaling student teams into stable engineering pipelines. An unusual strength is his ability to combine quantum‑application laser/thermal control design with supply-chain-aware embedded security, making him adept at solving cross-domain hardware trust problems.
