Jim Treinen's Bio
Jim Treinen received his Ph.D. from the College of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Denver in June 2009. His thesis advisor was Dr. Ramakrishna Thurimella. Jim conducted the majority of his doctoral research through CRISP (The Colorado Research Institute for Security and Privacy) in conjunction with IBM Security Intelligence. He holds an M.S. in Computer Science from D.U., and Bachelor's degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics from Regis University. He completed a portion of his B.S. in Maths at Coláiste Mhuire Gan Smál in Limerick, Ireland.
Jim is currently the Chief Technology Officer at Laconic Security, where he heads Research and Development at Laconic Labs.
