Prior to joining the firm, Gideon Myles Ph.D. worked at the IBM Almaden Research Center and Apple, Inc. where he applied his technical knowledge in the field of computer science. Dr. Myles has been named as an inventor on more than a dozen patent applications, authored 19 scientific publications, given numerous conference and invited talks, and is a regular reviewer for various computer science conferences and journals.
Dr. Myles earned a Ph.D. and M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Arizona. His research and dissertation focused on technical means of detecting and preventing software piracy, which included techniques such as software watermarking, software birthmarking, code obfuscation, and tamper proofing. Dr. Myles also instructed undergraduate level computer science courses.
