Nadarajah Asokan[1] is a Professor of Computer Science and the David R. Cheriton Chair in Software Systems[2] at the University of Waterloo. He is also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Aalto University.[3]
Education and career
Asokan received a Bachelor of Technology (BTech) Honours in Computer Science & Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in 1988, a Master of Science (MS) in Computer and Information Science from Syracuse University in 1989, and a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo in 1998. His doctoral thesis was on the topic of Fairness in Electronic Commerce.[4]
From 1999 to 2012 he worked at Nokia Research Center (NRC) in Helsinki, Finland, where he worked on several notable projects, including what would become the Generic Bootstrapping Architecture.[5][6]
From September 2012 until December 2017 he was a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Helsinki (part-time from August 2013 onwards). In 2013 he became a tenured (full) Professor of Computer Science at Aalto University, where he co-led the Secure Systems Group (SSG)[7] and established the Helsinki-Aalto Center for Information Security (HAIC).[8] At Aalto University he led research projects funded by the Academy of Finland,[9] Business Finland,[10] and various companies. He was a principal investigator (PI) of the Intel Research Institute for Collaborative Resilient and Autonomous Systems (CARS).[11]
In 2019 he joined the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo as a (full) Professor and David R. Cheriton Chair in Software Systems.[12]
Asokan is the inventor of over 50 granted patents.[13]
