Phillip Rogaway I am a professor in the Department of Computer Science (CS) at the University of California, Davis (UCD). I have also been a visiting professor at a bunch of places, including several years at Chiang Mai University (TH) and extended stays at Chulalongkorn University (TH), ENS Paris (FR), ETH Zürich (CH), and the Isaac Newton Institute (UK). I am currently taking a sabbatical in Portland, Oregon (US). My research is in cryptography. After doing my undergrad work at UCB I did my Ph.D. in MIT’s Theory of Computation group (1991), graduating under Silvio Micali. After that I worked at IBM as a security architect, then came to UCD (1994), where I’ve spent much of the last 27 years. My research has focused on obtaining provably good solutions to protocol problems of utility to people’s privacy and security. I’ve been lucky enough to get some nice recognition for my work, including the Levchin prize (2016), PET Award (2015), IACR Fellow (2012), ACM Paris Kanellakis Award (2009), and the RSA Award in Mathematics (2003). I love teaching and am not only teaching university students right now but some wonderful K-12 students, too.

In recent years I’ve grown skeptical of claims that CS benefits ordinary people and have shifted by attention to social and ethical issues connected to technology, especially the climate crisis and the problem of mass surveillance. Corresondingly, I have shifted most of my university teaching to ethics (course ecs188). I support BDS, BLM, XR, and other social justice and environmental movements. I anticipate retiring from UCD in about a year. My own values have increasingly diverged from those of my department and my discipline.
