Nicholas Sim

I am a computer security researcher at DSO National Laboratories, Singapore.

My research interests include:

I completed my MPhil in the Computer Architecture Group at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, under the supervision of Prof. Simon Moore. During this time I submitted my dissertation Strengthening memory safety in Rust: exploring CHERI capabilities for a safe language, which demonstrated that CHERI hardware capabilities are complementary to and not redundant with protections offered by type-safe languages, including Rust.

Prior to that my undergraduate thesis, Optimising finite-difference methods for PDEs through parameterised time-tiling in Devito, won the Governor's Prize (2017-18) for the Department of Computing at Imperial College London.
