Education and early career

Lincoln received a bachelor of science in electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1986, with the thesis "DisCoRd distributed combinator reduction, automatic parallelizing compiler" under thesis advisor Rishiyur Nikhil.[1] While pursuing that degree, he held a position in ETA Systems' Software Division from 1982 to 1983; one at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Division C-10 from 1984 to 1985. After graduation, he held a position with MCC from 1986 to 1988 in their Software Technology and Advanced Computer Architecture departments.[1]

Lincoln then attended Stanford University, from 1988 to 1992, earning a Ph.D. in computer science under advisor John Mitchell. Lincoln's doctoral dissertation was "Computational aspects of linear logic".[1][2][3]

Later career

In 1989, Lincoln joined SRI International's Computer Science Laboratory (CSL). He is the director of SRI's Computer Science Laboratory since 1998 and became Vice-President of Information and Computing Sciences in 2018.[4] He is also the executive director of SRI's program for the Department of Homeland Security's Cyber Security Research and Development Center and co-director of the SRI Center for Computational Biology.[5] He also leads numerous multidisciplinary research groups.[6][7]

In 2013, he was featured in the BBC Horizon episode "Defeating the Hackers" [8] and NOVA episode "Rise of the Hackers" [9] describing his work on secure computing and cortical cryptography. This is focusing on how to store a password in someone's mind that they cannot directly recall; for example, by teaching them to play a song and measuring their reaction times.[10][11] Those methods are theoretically resistant to rubber-hose cryptanalysis, where a user is coerced to give up a password or other key; if you don't know a password, you can't tell it to someone.[12]

Advisory boards and awards

He has served on the Defense Science Board task force on Science and Technology and of the Defense Science Board task force on Defensive Information Operations. He is serving on several advisory boards, including startups such as Neurome,[13] Relational.AI,[14] Blackhorse.

In 2005, Lincoln was named an SRI Fellow.[15] In 2013, he and collaborators received the Best Paper Award at The 19th IEEE Pacific Rim International Symposium on Dependable Computing (PRDC).[16]

gollark: You *can* spoof actual GPS signals fairly easily, but nearby people might complain and phones use other ways to get location anyway.
gollark: Then emulate better.
gollark: having actual cartful of phones < many, many emulated smartphones
gollark: null.kst would not ruin the database because lemmmy is not insane.
gollark: Unless you have really cheap electricity.
