Cybersecurity Expert Pioneering Side-Channel and Transient Execution Attack Research
Dr. Daniel Gruss, an Associate Professor at Graz University of Technology, is a renowned expert in cybersecurity, specializing in side-channel and transient execution attacks. Completing his PhD with distinction in under three years, Gruss has made significant contributions to the field, including implementing Rowhammer.js, the first remote fault attack running on a website, and being part of the team that discovered the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities in 2018. His research focuses on identifying and mitigating hardware-level security vulnerabilities, with his work on software patches against Meltdown now integrated into most operating systems. As the leader of the Secure Systems group at Graz University of Technology, Gruss continues to advance the field through his research, teaching, and frequent speaking engagements at top international venues. His extensive publication record and involvement in teaching operating systems courses since 2010 underscore his commitment to both advancing cybersecurity research and educating the next generation of security experts.
