Farinaz Koushanfar is an Iranian-American computer scientist whose research concerns embedded systems, ad-hoc networks, and computer security. She is a professor and Henry Booker Faculty Scholar of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, San Diego.

Education and career

Koushanfar obtained her bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Sharif University of Technology, a master's degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a second master's degree in statistics and Ph.D. in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of California, Berkeley in 2005.

After postdoctoral research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, she joined the faculty of Rice University in 2006. She moved to her present position in San Diego in 2015.

Recognition

In 2008, Koushanfar was listed in the MIT Technology Review "35 Innovators Under 35" for her work using random variation in integrated circuits as a device fingerprint allowing manufacturers to validate the authenticity of devices. Her 2008 paper "Lightweight Secure PUFs" was given the Ten Year Retrospective Most Influential Paper Award in 2017 at the International Conference on Computer Aided Design.

She was named a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers in 2010 and an IEEE Fellow in 2019, "for contributions to hardware and embedded systems security and to privacy-preserving computing".
