Jorge Crichigno is a Professor in the Integrated Information Technology Department at the Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing, University of South Carolina (USC). He joined USC in 2018, previously serving as faculty at Northern New Mexico College and as a research associate at the University of South Florida's Florida Center for Cybersecurity. His work focuses on high-speed networking, Science DMZs, cybersecurity, and P4 programmable data planes.
Dr. Crichigno holds a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from the University of New Mexico, alongside M.Sc. and B.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering. His research emphasizes practical implementation of Science DMZs, TCP optimization, and cybersecurity education through virtual labs. He leads an NSF-funded project developing experiential cybersecurity training programs and workforce partnerships with industry and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
His research interests span Science DMZ design, network function virtualization, ransomware detection, and IoT security. He develops training materials for Science DMZs and contributes to the Cyberinfrastructure (CI) Lab, which investigates high-speed networks and IoT challenges. Key projects include enhancing network security via ML-driven malware detection and optimizing TCP fairness in non-programmable networks using P4 switches.
Dr. Crichigno teaches IT Security (ITEC 493) and Advanced Networking (ITEC 445). He has secured NSF grants for initiatives like Cyber-Con2 and cybersecurity pipeline development. His lab work includes creating scalable virtual labs and testing frameworks for large data transfers, with a focus on disaster recovery support and SDN environments.
