In his panel talk at the HIMSS workshop “Medical Device Security Risks and Challenges: A Multidisciplinary Response”, Ryan urged the medical device community must start considering hardware in their quest of building reliable and security medical devices. He also called for enhanced collaboration between a bevy of different stakeholders who develop, use, and regulate these devices. A discussion on this (and more) can be found in a interview that he gave to the Healthcare Info Security Group.
IEEE Micro Top Picks
Our paper Networks-On-Chip with Provable Security Properties has been accepted for publication in the 2014 Top Picks issue of IEEE Micro. This issue acts as a best paper award for papers submitted to the elite computer architecture papers in 2013. This paper was originally published in ISCA 2013. Congrats to Ryan and Jason as well as our UCSB collaborators, Hassan Wassel, Ying Gao, Tim Sherwood, and Fred Chong as well as Ted Huffmire from the Naval Postgraduate School.
2013 Top Story
Our research to develop a hardware accelerated system for flow cytometry was listed as one of the 20 Top Stories for UCSD CSE Department and as a memorable story in the Jacobs School Year in Review. This research was originally presented at FPL in September.
ASPLOS 14 Paper
Our paper “Sapper: A Language for Hardware-Level Security Policy Enforcement” was accepted to ASPLOS. Congrats to Jason, Ryan, our collaborators at UCSB (Xun Li, Vineeth Kashyap, Ben Hardekopf, Tim Sherwood, Fred Chong), and UT Austin (Mohit Tiwari).
Jason awarded ARCS Fellowship
Jason was one of 31 UCSD students to receive the 2013 ARCS fellowship. The ARCS Foundation, a national non-profit led entirely by women, has been providing financial awards to scholars since 1958, aiming to sustain and enhance research in science, engineering and medicine in the U.S.
Congrats Jason!
2013 Group Retreat
We had our annual group retreat in Mammoth September 18-22. In addition to the evening research presentations, we did some hiking, fishing, horseback riding, and mountain biking.

FPL 2013
Ryan, Matt, Dajung, and Dustin traveled to Porto to present their three papers at FPL.
Matt’s RIFFA paper was the winner of the Community Award. This award is for authors who have made a significant contribution to the community by providing some material or knowledge in an open format that benefits the rest of the community.
Our second paper “A Hardware Accelerated Approach for Imaging Flow Cytometry” by Dajung, Pingfan, Matt and UCLA collaborators Dino Di Carlo and Henry Tse got some media attention [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7].
Our final paper was “A FPGA Design for High Speed Feature Extraction from a Compressed Measurement Stream” by lead author Dustin and our collaborators John McGarry and Ali Irturk at Cognex provides a hardware accelerated technique for laser line scanning running at over 14,000 frames/sec.
Congrats to all of the authors!
