Professional Experience
2005- Research scientist at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory,
member of the Center for Information Security and Privacy.
Researched key distribution in sensor networks. Researched private single-database searching
for arbitrary Boolean queries and related lattice-based attacks. Participated in a project on
protein folding. Improved memory integrity checking mechanisms by applying trusted platform
module (TPM) technology. Introduced new TPM applications; count-limited certificates for
managing access rights and mobile agents. Introduced a new secure device model called the
trusted execution module (TEM) for commodity general-purpose trusted computing.
2001-2005 Visiting scientist from Philips Research (Information and System Security group) at the
MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, responsible for a productive
collaboration between Philips and MIT in the area of security.
Contributed to system security research which involves both practical and theoretical aspects;
introduced physical unclonable functions (PUFs), single chip secure processors, memory
integrity checking, visual crypto displays and practical torus based cryptography. Researched
information embedding, biometrics, and the modeling and verification of system security
properties.
The startup company Verayo (2005, http://www.verayo.com/) offers a commercialized
version of physical unclonable functions as a solution for radio frequency identification
(RFID). The startup company Intrinsic-ID (2008, http://www.intrinsic-id.com/) uses
physical unclonable functions to generate device-unique IDs and keys.
1996-2001 Research scientist at Philips Research Laboratories (Digital Signal Processing group),
the Netherlands, in the area of coding theory for wireless communications and storage
applications. Visited Philips Consumer Electronics, Vienna, during September-December 1998.
Developed error correcting codes for magnetic and optical storage and flash memory. Lead
inventor of the error correcting codes which have been accepted in the digital video recording
standard for Blu-ray disc (http://www.blu-raydisc.com/ and http://www.blu-ray.com/,
see also US patents 6,367,049 and 7,103,829). Researched modulation codes for optical storage,
convolutional codes and turbo decoding for broadcast satellite communication and wireless
communications, and watermarking and copyright protection schemes for optical storage.
Co-authored the paper ``Optical Disc System for Digital Video Recording'' on Philips'
contributions to Blu-ray disc technology (see here), which got reprinted in the book "Origins
and Successors of the Compact Disc Contributions of Philips to Optical Storage",
http://www.ieee.be/milestone.html, published as a result of the IEEE Milestone in
Electrical Engineering and Computing dedicated to Philips for the development of the compact
disc audio player.
1996 Research associate at the Chinese University of Hong Kong during January-August 1996 working
in the field of cryptology.
Teaching Experience
Spring 2009 Lecturer for the course "Design and Analysis of Algorithms (6.046)'' at MIT.
Fall 2008 Lecturer for the course "Mathematics for Computer Science (6.042)'' at MIT.
Spring 2008 Recitation instructor for the course "Computer System Engineering (6.033)'' at MIT.
Spring 2007 Teaching assistant for the course "Introduction to Algorithms (6.046)'' at MIT.
Fall 2005 Teaching assistant for the course "Introduction to Algorithms (6.046)'' at MIT.
1996-2001 Invited as a guest lecturer by the Euler Institute for Discrete Mathematics and its Applications
(EIDMA) to develop and teach a series of 4 lectures on secret sharing every two years, as part
of an advanced cryptography course for a group of 15 graduate students from various Dutch and
Belgium universities.
1992-1994 Teaching assistant at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands for the courses
Matrix Theory I and II over two consecutive years for undergraduate students in architecture
and business. Led weekly 3-hour tutorial sessions for 35 students.
Leadership
2001 Started and managed a team at Philips Research focused on security research.
1991-1995 Initiated and led a weekly seminar for PhD students in discrete mathematics to get to know one
another's research and brainstorm with one another.
Awards
