About

Dr. Mark Tehranipoor is a world-renowned authority in hardware security and trust, whose pioneering work has fundamentally shaped the field. His research spans hardware-oriented security, including the detection of counterfeit integrated circuits, the design of secure and reliable hardware, and the development of anti-tamper and anti-reverse engineering techniques. A major contribution is his leadership in creating the first comprehensive taxonomy and detection methods for hardware Trojans, a cornerstone of modern hardware security. He has also developed groundbreaking techniques for physically unclonable functions (PUFs) and true random number generators (TRNGs), which are critical for secure device authentication. With over 20,000 citations and an h-index exceeding 70, his work is among the most influential in the field. Dr. Tehranipoor is the founding director of the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity (FICS) Research and has authored several seminal books, including *Hardware Security: A Hands-on Learning Approach* and *Counterfeit Integrated Circuits: Detection and Avoidance*. His contributions have earned him numerous accolades, including the IEEE Computer Society Technical Achievement Award and the ACM SIGDA Distinguished Service Award.
