Name: Tick, Tock, talk—find out how Rust secures embedded devices
Start: 2025-09-24T18:00:00-04:00

Location: Brown Science & Engineering Library

Tock is a Rust based embedded operating system used in devices ranging from security processors to automotive systems—where it is important to run multiple concurrent, mutually distrustful applications on embedded platforms.

This beginner friendly talk will introduce the Tock operating system and highlight its asynchronous architecture which enables high data throughput while keeping latency and power consumption low.
You will have the opportunity to join in with a hands-on demo. Attendees with laptops and a basic Rust toolchain installed will be able to quickly get a Tock application running in an emulator. Information and help on how to set up your laptop will be available before the event.

**Speaker Bio:**
Dr. Brad Campbell is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Virginia and a member of the Tock Core Working Group. His research focuses on systems for ubiquitous and embedded computing, from IoT and wearables to smart buildings and cities. He has published extensively on building secure, scalable embedded systems and was a co-author of early papers making the case for writing operating systems kernels in Rust.

When: Wednesday 9/17 from 6 pm to 8 pm
Where: Room 133 in Brown Science & Engineering Library (Clark Hall)
291 McCormick Rd, Charlottesville, VA 22903
