Security of mobile and embedded devices, computer microarchitecture, VLSI design and test.
Sandip Kundu's research interests include security of mobile and embedded devices, computer microarchitecture, VLSI circuit design and testing, CAD, and coding theory. Hardware-security work in his group has included PUFs, side-channel resistance, supply-chain authentication, and defenses related to machine-learning accelerators. He is a Fellow of the IEEE.
Professor Kundu joined University of Massachusetts in January of 2005.
Prior to joining UMass, he was with Intel Corporation between 1997 and 2005 and IBM Research Centers (T J Watson & ARL) between 1988 and 1997.
He has a Ph.D in Electrical & Computer Engineering from University of Iowa (1988) and B.Tech (Hons.) in Electronics & Electrical Communication Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (1984).
He leads the Advanced VLSI Design and Test Group.
Professor Kundu has won numerous awards including five best paper awards, Development Leadership Pioneer Award at Intel Corporation and Outstanding Technical Achievement award at IBM Corporation. I was also a recipient of National Talent Scholarship in India.
He is a Fellow of the IEEE, invitational Fellow of the Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) and a Senior International Scientist of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I have been a Distinguished Visitor of the IEEE Computer Society. I am currently an Associate Editor of the ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems. Previously, I have served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Computers, and the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems.
He has also held visiting professor positions at the University of Freiburg in Germany, University of Montpellier in France, Kyushu Institute of Technology in Japan, and Southampton University in UK.
