Sam King is a professor in the CS department at UC Davis. He has worked on security for web browsers and hardware, and more recently on applying security principles to stop financial fraud. Currently, his research focus is on building secure computer systems for people living with disabilities.
Throughout his career, Sam has focused on using novel research to solve real-world problems. Among the highlights are that the security architecture of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox are based on his research, and software that came out of his lab to stop credit card fraud ran on more than 1 billion devices, stopping an estimated $100M in fraud losses and introducing ethics and equity to fraud prevention.
