Ludwig
Ludwig is an incoming Electrical & Computer Engineering freshman at Rice University with a deep technical foundation in computer architecture and programming (go, owls!). He has led technical teams and helped build cybersecurity and computer science programs in his school community. Ludwig is excited to bring that background to the Houston cybersecurity community and to continue learning from and contributing to the field.
Session
GPUHammer shows that modern GPUs are not just rapid computing engines, but memory systems with a real attack surface. This talk explains how a Rowhammer-style attack can induce bit flips in GDDR6, why GPU architecture changes the defender’s problem, the consequences for large-scale AI and cloud systems, and what current hardware, firmware, and software mitigations still leave open.
