Amit Vasudevan is a Computer Scientist at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). His research interests include secure (embedded) systems and IoT, virtualization, trusted computing, formal methods, malware analysis and operating systems. His present research focuses on building formally verifiable and trustworthy computing systems. He is the principal force behind the design and development of uberSpark – an innovative architecture and framework for compositional formal verification of security properties of commodity system software; and the uber eXtensible Micro-Hypervisor Framework (uberXMHF) – an open-source, extensible and formally verifiable micro-hypervisor framework which forms the foundation for a new class of (security-oriented) micro-hypervisor based applications ("uberapps") on commodity computing platforms.
He received his Ph.D. and M.S degrees from the Computer Science Department at UT Arlington and spent three yearsas a Post-doctoral fellow at CyLab, Carnegie Mellon University. Before that, he obtained his B.E. from the Computer Science Department at the BMS College of Engineering, Bangalore, India.
