Daniel Holcomb

Assistant Professor

My group's research investigates methodologies for secure and reliable embedded systems. Our work toward this goal spans computer engineering topics including formal verification, automation, VLSI design.

Current Research
Current projects are on security for FPGAs, testchip implementations of low-power security primitives, obfuscation and reverse engineering, and supply chain security.
