Brian Singer
PhD, CMU
Founder & CEO, Incalmo

About Me

I am a co-founder of Incalmo, a cybersecurity research lab. We recently closed a seed round. We are hiring aggressively. Please reach out if you are passionate about creating RL environments for security or post-training cyber frontier models.

I graduated from CMU's PhD program where I was advised by Lujo Bauer and Vyas Sekar, developing systems to enable fully autonomous network attackers and defenders.

Before my PhD, I co-founded ZeroWheel and was the CTO for 5 years.
