RTX Leadership Visits the STAM Center

Leadership from RTX Corporation recently visited the STAM Center at Arizona State University, where faculty and researchers shared an overview of the center’s work in secure and trusted microelectronics.

The visit provided a snapshot of the STAM Center’s research environment and its approach to addressing challenges in hardware security, system resilience, and high-performance computing. Through lab tours and demonstrations, the team highlighted how different research efforts come together to study real-world systems, identify vulnerabilities, and develop practical solutions.

A key takeaway was the center’s ability to connect foundational research with realistic experimentation. The STAM Center combines expertise in areas such as side-channel analysis, hardware evaluation, and FPGA-based platforms with infrastructure that supports system-level testing. This integrated approach allows researchers to move from theory to application in a meaningful way.

The visit also underscored the depth of the center’s capabilities, from low-level hardware analysis to large-scale environments that reflect industry-relevant systems. These resources support work that is both technically rigorous and closely aligned with real-world needs.

Overall, the visit offered an opportunity to exchange ideas and showcase the STAM Center’s strengths. It also reinforced the importance of continued dialogue between academia and industry on topics critical to the future of secure and trusted systems
