Summary
Hiroshi Nishida is a seasoned computer scientist and former president of ASUSA Corporation, where from 2013 to 2025 he led cutting-edge research in secure, loss-tolerant communications and high-performance cryptography. He earned a PhD in Computer Science (Parallel & Distributed Systems) from Oregon State University and has a multi-decade background spanning hardware development at Nintendo to geoscience R&D engineering, bringing a rare mix of systems, networks, and field-ready engineering. His team’s work delivers practical breakthroughs such as 5× faster-than-AES-256 cryptography, loss-tolerant network coding, and a distributed data system RNCDDS that can cut CDN storage by up to two-thirds; these efforts are open-sourced (HNCSL, gf-nishida-16) and have earned two IEEE Best Paper Awards at UEMCON 2023. He has contributed to the MS QUIC ecosystem by implementing secure protocols in C across FreeBSD, Linux, and macOS, reflecting a hands-on, production-oriented approach. His innovations are protected by an international patent (US11064024) and he has maintained a fleet of 50–100 FreeBSD web servers for clients, underscoring reliability and scale. Based in Salem, Oregon, Hiroshi combines deep theoretical insight with practical, high-performance systems engineering.
