Yossi Oren is an associate professor and offensive security researcher with over a decade of experience bridging academic rigor and hands‑on hardware/implementation security. He leads lab work that combines sensitive RF and power-measurement instrumentation with advanced side‑channel and microarchitectural attack techniques to harden IoT devices, PCs and smartphones. His background spans academia and industry—postdoc at Columbia, a research stint inside Intel’s chip security lab, and senior research roles at Samsung—bringing practical threat emulation into curriculum and industry collaborations. Yossi’s work emphasizes that secure algorithms are only as strong as their implementations, and he routinely translates lab discoveries into actionable defenses and student projects. Based in Be’er Sheva, he actively recruits and mentors students while publishing high‑impact research on cache and power analysis attacks. An experienced software engineer and former project lead, he pairs deep electrical-engineering measurement skills with long-standing software development and project management experience.
