Brief Biography |
|
Cetin Kaya Koc received his Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering
from University of California Santa Barbara in 1988. He was an
Assistant Professor at University of Houston (1988-1992),
Assistant, Associate and Full Professor with tenure at Oregon State
University (1992-2007). He established Information Security Laboratory
at Oregon State University and received Research Award for Outstanding
and Sustained Research Leadership in 2001.
He graduated 14 Ph.D. students and 33 M.S. students, and also directed the theses of 4 honors students. 9 of his Ph.D. students are currently professors (2 in the US, 1 in Mexico, and 6 in other countries), the remaining work for global high-tech companies, e.g., Microsoft, AMD, and Samsung. |

His research interests are in cryptographic engineering, cryptographic hardware and embedded systems, secure hardware design, side-channel attacks and countermeasures, algorithms and architectures for computer arithmetic and finite fields. He is a co-founder of the Workshop on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems (chesworkshop.org) in 1999 and was the program co-chair and proceedings editor from 1999 to 2003. He is now a permanent member and the chair of the steering committee of the CHES Workshop. Recently, he has also co-founded a new conference, International Workshop on the Arithmetic of Finite Fields (waifi.org), which is a forum of engineers and mathematicians interested in efficient software and hardware realizations of finite fields. He has co-authored two books: Cryptographic Algorithms on Reconfigurable Hardware and Cryptographic Engineering, published by Springer in 2007 and 2009. He has been an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Computers and IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. Also, he was a guest co-editor of two issues (April 2003 & November 2008) of IEEE Transactions on Computers on cryptographic and cryptanalytic hardware and embedded systems. In addition to editing 6 books, he has also published more than 120 journal and conference papers, and 8 US patents. He is an IEEE Fellow since 2007 for contributions to cryptographic engineering. Currently, Dr. Koc is a professor of Computer Science at Istanbul Şehir University and an adjunct professor in the Department of Computer Science and the College of Creative Studies at University of California Santa Barbara. |
