Ramesh Karri

Professor

Ramesh Karri pioneered the field of hardware security, proving that physical chips, not just software, are vulnerable to attack. For over two decades, his research has extended this to processors, medical devices, and 3-D printing, developing methods to ensure their trustworthiness. With over 350 published papers, Karri has shaped the discipline by building essential institutions, including NYU’s Center for Cybersecurity and Trust-Hub, an open repository for benchmarks and tools. In 2008, he launched the CSAW Embedded Security Challenge, now the world's largest student hardware-hacking competition. His impact extends beyond research into the vibrant community and tools that have matured around the field.
