Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeoff Twardokus is a security researcher and Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a decade of experience focused on cyber-physical systems and wireless security. He conducts NSF-funded research on quantum-resistant security for connected vehicle communications, spanning 5G/6G C-V2X and DSRC protocols, and has published in top venues including IEEE INFOCOM and ICC. Geoff combines hands-on systems work—from low-level avionics software and structural coverage testing to identity/access management and large-campus application administration—with advanced cryptographic and post-quantum expertise. He has taught wireless security and developed hands-on V2V labs, demonstrating an ability to translate research into practical curriculum and tooling. Based in Rochester, NY, he blends academic rigor with applied engineering across industry internships and institutional security projects. An understated strength is his track record of bridging regulatory, operational, and technical domains (e.g., GDPR compliance and DO-178C-related testing) to deliver secure, certifiable systems.
