Greg Fonzo is Assistant Professor and Co-Director of the Charmaine and Gordon McGill

Center for Psychedelic Research and Therapy in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral

Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School. He completed his Ph.D. in

Clinical Psychology at the San Diego State University/University of California-San Diego Joint

Doctoral Program, and he completed his postdoctoral fellowship in biobehavioral research at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

Dr. Fonzo’s laboratory utilizes non-invasive brain measurement tools to characterize

neurobiological mechanisms of stress-related mental health disorders such as posttraumatic

stress disorder, anxiety, and depression; and evidence-based treatments such as

psychotherapy and antidepressant medication. His research also focuses on designing and

establishing mechanisms and efficacy of novel neuroscience-informed interventions, with a

particular focus on psychedelic therapies and neuromodulation.

He was the 2020 winner of the prestigious One Mind Rising Star Award for his novel

research on focused ultrasound neuromodulation. His research is funded through the National

Institutes of Health, several private foundations, and philanthropic gifts. His work and that of his

collaborators have been published in top tier psychiatry/neuroscience journals, including Nature

Biotechnology, Nature Human Behavior, Science Translational Medicine, Molecular

Psychiatry, The American Journal of Psychiatry, Neuron, Biological Psychiatry, and JAMA

Psychiatry.

His role at eBay as the Sr. Global Product Manager of Trust and Safety saw him inventing the Content Security Policy to combat cross-site scripting, and founding the influential ha.ckers.org and sla.ckers.org. He wrote 1,000 blog posts on web application security.

In 2007, RSnake co-founded SecTheory LLC, making significant strides in internet security research and consulting. His development of the Slowloris denial of service tool and Clickjacking were pivotal in the field amongst many other findings. He later worked as Vice President of Labs at WhiteHat Security then went on to pioneer the concept of attack surface management at Bit Discovery which was acquired by Tenable. While at Bit Discovery he created a new class of attack against Python called NaN-Injection.
