Dr. Alin Anton

I was interviewed after improving the cost-efficiency of the drinkable water pumping systems in my hometown, long after my hydraulic pump monitoring project has finished. The research contract BC27/27.03.2018 lasted until December 2018, so I made efforts in my spare time together with Dr. Eng. Adrian Cococeanu in order to figure out a better solution for daytime and nighttime service. This shows that I am tenacious, and that I value my work. I care the most about the actual outcome and the very applied nature of my work.

"Software Module for Efficiency Assessment of the Hydraulic Pumps in Service for Drinkable Water Systems" where I worked as project director @ Uni.

Short list: computer security, computational science and engineering, large-scale high performance numerical computing, supercomputing, numerical simulations, computational fluid dynamics, privacy engineering, free (libre) software, social and ethical implications of technology, reverse engineering, anonymity, covert communication, subversive and disruptive technology;

I'm a computer security, privacy and free software fanatic, with a proven interdisciplinary record track in computational fluid dynamics and scientific computing.

I am know "voodoo" programming (the kind that hurts), computational science and engineering, large-scale high performance numerical computing & supercomputing, numerical simulations, computational fluid dynamics, privacy engineering, free (libre) software, social and ethical implications of computer technology, reverse engineering, more reverse engineering, tough operating system and general security problems, anonymity, covert communication, subversive and disruptive technology... the good news is I'm still with the Jedi 100%. If you think I can help or want to join forces in an interesting project let me know!

If you wonder how voodoo programming looks like, try mixing some badass programming (part Voodoo part Santeria) with some really dark art potions where nobody knows the recipe

Proven, solid interdisciplinary experience. I am an IT guy. My PhD thesis is titled "Space-Time Window Reconstruction in Parallel High Performance Numerical Simulations: Application for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)" where I showed, for the first time, that it is possible to capture space-time boundary conditions for regions of interest in big data numerical CFD simulations for later reconstruction on commodity hardware.

My PhD thesis is freely available here.

I also invented Bunker jails, a hardened isolation enhancement for lightweight secure virtualization devices on some unix operating systems. This allows for any Internet service daemon, including a web server, to be connected to the world from within a highly compact and secured environment without using networking sockets. The trick is done via reverse local file proxying. This way remote exploits can not succeed as long as the proxy stays true to not doing more than simple proxying.

My article on Bunker jails is freely available here.
