Tadayoshi Kohno is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. He received a B.S. in computer science from the University of Colorado and a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of California at San Diego. His research focuses on computer security and privacy, broadly defined. Current research thrusts span from secure cyber-physical systems to private cloud computing, involving implantable medical devices, state-of-the-art automobiles, robotics, disappearing data, and the accidental permanence of data. His approach considers technology in the broader milieu of human activity and from that perspective he is exploring and extending Value Sensitive Design for computer security and privacy.
