Berk Sunar
Berk Sunar received his B.S. (1995) degree in Electrical and
Electronics Engineering from Middle
East Technical University.
He completed his doctoral studies under the supervision of Dr.
Çetin K. Koç in the Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering at Oregon State University, and received his
Ph.D. degree in December 1998.
After briefly working as a
member of the research faculty at Oregon State University,
Sunar has joined Worcester
Polytechnic Institute as an Assistant Professor.
Sunar's research interests include high-speed computer arithmetic for finite
fields and elliptic curve cryptography, computer architecture, and error
control codes. His recent research interests are fast implementations of
elliptic curve cryptosystems based on GF(2^k) and GF(p) arithmetic,
high-speed implementation of the RSA and DSA algorithms for the MMX
technology, and design of low-complexity hardware multipliers for GF(2^k)
arithmetic.
