Stephen Weis works as a software engineer at Google. He received his Ph.D. in 2006 from MIT in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory as part of the Cryptography and Information Security group. Steve was advised by Ron Rivest. Steve's primary academic interests are cryptography, security, algorithms, and financial theory. His work has largely focused on security and privacy issues of radio-frequency identification (RFID) and pervasive computing devices. As an undergraduate, Steve attended UC Berkeley where he received degrees in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics.
