Guevara Noubir

Theory and practice of privacy and security
Robustness of networked systems

PhD in computer science, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne — Switzerland

Guevara Noubir is a professor and the executive director of cybersecurity programs in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, based in Boston. He is also the principal investigator of Northeastern University’s NSA/DHS-designated Center of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity.

Noubir's research covers theoretical and practical aspects of privacy, security, and robustness in networked systems. Before joining Northeastern, he held research and visiting positions at CSEM SA, EPFL, Eurecom, MIT, and UNL.

Noubir received the NSF CAREER Award in 2005, the Google Faculty Research Award on Privacy in 2016, the Northeastern University Excellence in Research and Creative Activity Award in 2018, best paper awards at ACM WiSec in 2011 and 2018, and a best paper award at the IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security in 2016. In 2020, he was awarded a grant by the Office of Naval Research to identify vulnerabilities in 5G cellular systems and to develop solutions that bolster resiliency, security, and privacy, with potential benefits for commercial systems and the Department of Defense.

Noubir led Northeastern's winning teams in the DARPA Spectrum Collaboration Challenge in 2017 and 2018. He also led Northeastern’s winning team in the DARPA Spectrum Challenge collaborative scenario in 2013.

Noubir has chaired the technical program committee of several security conferences, including both ACM WiSec and IEEE CNS in 2015. He also served on the editorial boards of ACM Transactions on Privacy and Security, IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, Computer Networks, and IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security. Noubir's research has been funded by BAE Systems, DARPA, Draper Labs, Microsoft Research, NSA, NSF, and Raytheon.
