Overview

Avi Rubin is a Computer Scientist with almost a decade of industry experience followed by over 20 years in academia. After receiving his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Michigan in 1994, Dr. Rubin worked as a researcher at Bellcore and then at AT&T Labs. In 2003, he joined the Computer Science faculty at Johns Hopkins University and was promoted to Full Professor with Tenure in 2004. During his over 20 years at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Rubin was Technical Director of the JHU Information Security Institute, along with his regular faculty position. In 2023, he was appointed Computer Science Professor Emeritus at Johns Hopkins and joined Harbor Labs, a company he founded in 2011, as Chief Scientist. Dr. Rubin is a frequent keynote speaker at industry and academic conferences and delivered widely viewed TED talks in 2011 and 2015. He has testified about information and network security before Congress on multiple occasions and frequently testifies as an expert witness in Federal court. His awards include Fulbright Scholar, Baltimorean of the Year, and the EFF Pioneer Award.
