Henry Corrigan-Gibbs is an Assistant Professor in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and a member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). He leads research in computer security, cryptography, and privacy-preserving systems. His work focuses on practical cryptographic systems that empower users while maintaining strong security guarantees. Notable contributions include the Tiptoe private search engine, Prio for privacy-preserving data aggregation, and Larch for secure authentication. His research has influenced industry standards at Apple, Google, and Mozilla, and has been recognized with awards such as the Best Young Researcher Paper at Eurocrypt and the Caspar Bowden Award. Education: PhD in Computer Science (Stanford University, advised by Dan Boneh), Postdoc at EPFL (hosted by Bryan Ford). B.S. in Computer Science from Yale University. Research Interests: Private Information Retrieval, Secure Authentication, Cryptographic Systems, Privacy-Preserving Analytics, and Hardware Security. His lab collaborates with PDOS and CSS research groups at MIT and co-hosts the MIT Security Seminar series. Grants and Funding: Supported by industry and government agencies (details in paper acknowledgments). Teaching roles include co-instructor for Applied Cryptography (6.5610) and Foundations of Computer Security (6.1600). Key Projects: Prio (used in iOS/Android), Tiptoe (private web search), Larch (backdoor-resistant authentication), and Whisper/Poplar systems for private data aggregation. His team includes postdocs, PhD students, and undergrad researchers working on cutting-edge cryptographic protocols.
