Christopher M. Wright, Ph.D.

Principal Scientist & Principal Investigator
Firmware Security | Reverse Engineering | AI-Assisted Program Analysis

I am a Senior Scientist III and Principal Investigator at GrammaTech, where I lead advanced R&D in firmware security, binary analysis, and automated vulnerability discovery. My work focuses on combining static and dynamic analysis, rehosting/emulation, and AI/ML-driven reasoning to accelerate reverse engineering and analysis of real-world embedded systems.

I develop architectures that unify large-scale program analysis, firmware decomposition, microservice-based pipelines, and modern AI models. These systems support national-security missions across defense, critical infrastructure, and cybersecurity research.

I work extensively on platforms including REAFFIRM, Proteus, HALucinator, and the FABLE discovery pipeline—advancing capabilities for firmware decomposition, component matching, automated reporting, and high-fidelity rehosting.

My goal is to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and practical, deployable analysis tools that significantly improve understanding, resilience, and security of embedded systems.
