Bio: I graduated from Illinois Institute with my B.S. in Computer Science in May, 2023. I returned to IIT to pursue a PhD in January, 2024, and I am currently working towards that degree. My focus is in networking and security, with my current work focused on remotely verifying the integrity of network devices such as switches and smart NICs.

My Work:

• Most of my work uses the following repository, which is a fork of the BMv2 simple_switch target to possess remote attestation capabilities: https://github.com/awolosewicz/bmv2-remote-attestation
• October 2024: "Experience Report: Using the FABRIC Testbed to teach a Graduate Computer Networking course" accepted as a paper to SIGCSE TS 2025.
• September 2024: "Combining Attestation and Provenance to Improve Reproducibility and Debugging on FABRIC" Demo/Poster at MERIF24.
  
• August 2024: First beta of CREASE released, which includes a copy of my attestable switch, and deployed to every FABRIC node, including international ones.
• April 2024: "Attestation-Capable, Programmable Switch as 5G UPF" Demo/Poster at HoTSoS 2024.
  
• March 2024: "Attestation-Capable, Programmable Switch as 5G UPF" Demo/Poster at KNIT8.
  
• November 2023: "Testbed Evaluation of an Attestation-Capable, Programmable Software Switch" short paper at INDIS Workshop, SC23.
  This was presented by Nishanth Shyamkumar (co-author) and he received the Best Demo award.
