Hardware security, secure embedded systems, FPGA and ASIC security, supply-chain security.
Daniel Holcomb's research is on building secure embedded systems that are also reliable and efficient. Current projects include secure hardware (low-power ASIC and FPGA), obfuscation and reverse engineering, and microelectronics supply-chain security, using formal verification, CAD, and VLSI design. He received an NSF CAREER Award for IC supply-chain security.
Daniel Holcomb is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UMass Amherst. He received his Ph.D. in EECS from UC Berkeley and was a research fellow at the University of Michigan. He holds B.S./M.S. degrees from UMass Amherst ECE.
He leads the Holcomb Lab.
