Herbert Bos is a full professor at VUSec, the systems security group at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands. He obtained his Ph.D. from Cambridge University Computer Laboratory (UK). Coming from a systems background, he drifted into security a few years ago and never left. He is very proud of his (former) students, four of whom have won the Roger Needham Ph.D. Award for best Ph.D. thesis in systems in Europe. In addition, VUSec has won three of the four Pwnie Awards awarded to researchers in the Netherlands. He claims that his life would be happier if he found a very good systems postdoc to hire (so if this is you, do apply!).
