About Me
These biographies, and other matters, are useful when writing grants. I put them here to help collaborators, because sometimes they need a bio at the last minute (or for some reason cannot get hold of me ...)
- 150 word biography
- 200 word biography
- 1 pararaph biography
- slide biography
- current CV (it’s in PDF, and out of date already!)
150 Word Biography
Matt Bishop received his Ph.D. in computer science from Purdue University, where he specialized in computer security, in 1984. He was a research scientist at the Research Institute of Advanced Computer Science and was on the faculty at Dartmouth College before joining the Department of Computer Science at the University of California at Davis.
His main research area is the analysis of vulnerabilities in computer systems, especially their origin, detection, and remediation. He is also active in the areas of network security, the study of denial of service attacks and defenses, policy modeling, software assurance testing, and formal modeling of access control.
He is active in information assurance education, and is a charter member of the Colloquium on Information Systems Security Education. His textbook, Computer Security: Art and Science, was published in December 2002 by Addison-Wesley Professional.
He teaches software engineering, machine architecture, operating systems, programming, and (of course) computer security.
200 Word Biography
Matt Bishop received his Ph.D. in computer science from Purdue University, where he specialized in computer security, in 1984. He was a research scientist at the Research Institute of Advanced Computer Science and was on the faculty at Dartmouth College before joining the Department of Computer Science at the University of California at Davis.
His main research area is the analysis of vulnerabilities in computer systems, including modeling them, building tools to detect vulnerabilities, and ameliorating or eliminating them. This includes detecting and handling all types of malicious logic. He is active in the areas of network security, the study of denial of service attacks and defenses, policy modeling, software assurance testing, and formal modeling of access control. He also studies the issue of trust as an underpinning for security policies, procedures, and mechanisms.
He is active in information assurance education, is a charter member of the Colloquium on Information Systems Security Education, and led a project to gather and make available many unpublished seminal works in computer security. His textbook, Computer Security: Art and Science, was published in December 2002 by Addison-Wesley Professional.
He also teaches software engineering, machine architecture, operating systems, programming, and (of course) computer security.
