Osmosis for DoD | October 13–14, 2020 | Virtual Event

Join OneSpin for a Special Department of Defense Users' Group Event

 

What is Osmosis?

Osmosis stands for OneSpin Meeting on Solutions, Innovation, & Strategy. It is a users’ group for customers and partners of OneSpin Solutions, provider of electronic design automation (EDA) tools for integrated circuit (IC) integrity verification. Osmosis signifies balance and two-way movement—in this case, of technical knowledge and expertise among OneSpin's experts and users. If IC integrity is important to you—particularly in the areas of functional correctness, safety, security, or trust—then this event is for you!

Osmosis for DoD is a two-day virtual event for current and prospective users of OneSpin 360™ verification solutions within the Trusted Silicon Stratus (TSS) environment and across the broader Department of Defense community.

After receiving his degree, Mr. Orlando joined the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate, developing next generation digital receiver exciter technologies in advanced SiGe bipolar, CMOS, and III‐V foundry offerings. 

In 2008, Mr. Orlando received his Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Dayton with his thesis entitled, “Digitally Controllable Variable Gain and Variable Slope High Performance X‐Band Amplifier.” Over the course of his AFRL career, Mr. Orlando has provided subject matter expertise, participating as part of a select government team on DARPA TEAM, NeoCad, HEALICs, COSMOS, TRUST and IRIS programs.

Today, Mr. Orlando is the AF Hardware Assurance lead for the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Trust and Assured Microelectronics (T&AM) Program contributing to the DoD’s renewed interest in state-of-the-art microelectronics for national security.

Mr. Orlando will welcome attendees to the first day of Osmosis for DoD with opening remarks for the Department of Defense and Trusted Silicon Stratus communities. 

Matthew Casto | Office of the Secretary of Defense

Director, Trusted and Assured Microelectronics (T&AM) Program

Dr. Matthew Casto serves as Director for the Trusted and Assured Microelectronics (T&AM) Program within the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. Dr. Casto manages the DoD's T&AM and Microelectronic Innovation for National Security and Economic Competitiveness (MINSEC) Initiative, developing a new trust and assurance approach and delivering microelectronics innovation to realize the top modernization priority of the DoD.

Dr. Casto provides leadership, vision, and direction in the development of Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) execution, including planning, programming, and budgeting of resources, facilities, and personnel across all DoD services, agencies, and the intelligence community. Dr. Casto has held various government technical leadership positions in his 18+ years of civil service, including Special Assistant to the AFRL Commander and Chief Scientist, Chief of the Air Force Research Lab Sensors Directorate Trusted Electronics Branch, and as the Air Force's Principle Engineer and Hardware Assurance technical lead for the DoD Joint Federated Assurance Center. Matt holds BS and MS degrees from Wright State University and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from The Ohio State University. He is a member of the IEEE and has authored 40+ publications, patents, and invited talks on microelectronics, semiconductors, and advanced electronics technology.

Dr. Casto will open the first day of Osmosis for DoD with a keynote address to the Department of Defense and Trusted Silicon Stratus communities. 

Ratish Punnoose | Sandia National Laboratories

Distinguished Member of Technical Staff

Dr. Ratish Punnoose is a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, California. He provides technical leadership on the design and development of embedded systems for weapon components and has helped to incorporate formal verification as part of Sandia's digital design process. 

Ratish leads much of the formal verification of ASIC-based designs at Sandia. He is part of a group of Sandia researchers developing formal tools to specify system behavior and to create certifiably correct systems for high-consequence applications. Ratish has a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.

At Osmosis for DoD, Ratish will present a case study entitled Ensuring Completeness of Formal Verification with GapFree: To End or Not to End (Property Writing).

Garrett Chan | The Aerospace Corporation

Engineering Manager

Garrett Chan is the Section Manager for the Hardware Security & Specialty Engineering section within Cyber Defense Solutions Department at the Aerospace Corporation.
