Mario Werner is currently a hardware design engineer at NXP Semiconductors and works on the hardening and implementation of security IPs. Before that, he worked as a security researcher in the Secure Systems (SESYS) group of IAIK at Graz University of Technology. Mario's main research topics are modifications and extensions of processors that protect general-purpose computing architectures in strong physical attack scenarios (e.g., fault and side-channel attacks). To ease the adoption of the developed countermeasures and techniques, additionally, software support in the form of toolchain integration (e.g., LLVM) plays a major role in his research activities. Mario received his PhD degree in computer science and MSc degree in computer engineering from Graz University of Technology in 2014 and 2020, respectively.
