Colin Van Dyke

Colin Van Dyke is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Oregon State Univeristy.

Colin received his B.S. in Computer Science from Oregon State University in June of 2001, and as an undergraduate performed research regarding software implementations of ECDSA for the Palm Computing Platform. Colin also received his M.S. degree Electrical and Computer Engineering May 2004 under the direction of Professor Çetin K. Koç.

He completed three internships with Intel Corporation and worked part-time during the school year, during which he was primarily concerned with Operating System Theory and device driver implementation for the Linux Kernel. During his time with Intel he contributed to the Linux-USB project and developed a Fast Compression-based Virtual Memory Subsystem for use in diskless Linux-based systems.

Colin's research interests are in software security, cryptography, anti-piracy, wireless security, and reconfigurable computing.
