Dr. Kevin Fu
The Founder of the Archimedes Center for Health Care and Device Security

Dr. Fu is a globally-leading researcher on medical device security. His research remains the number one search hit for medical device security. He is an Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University. His research investigates how to achieve trustworthy computing on embedded devices with application to health care, commerce, and communication. His work has appeared in prestigious academic journals and conferences as well as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and NPR. He has given several dozen invited talks across the world for universities, research labs, companies, conferences, and regulatory agencies. Prof. Fu has also testified in Congresson health matters and has written commissioned work for the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies.

Prof. Fu was named MIT Technology Review TR35 Innovator of the Year, and received a Sloan Research Fellowship and Fed100 Award for his leadership to improve medical device security. He served as a visiting scientist at the Food & Drug Administration, the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center of Harvard Medical School, Microsoft Research, and MIT CSAIL

Previous employers include Bellcore, Cisco Systems, HP Labs, and Holland Community Hospital. Prof. Fu spent 11 years at MIT where he received three engineering degrees. He is a member of the ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy and the NIST Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board.
