Yan Solihin is Charles N. Millican Chair Professor in Computer Science and the Director of Cybersecurity and Privacy Cluster at the University of Central Florida, and a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Solihin's research area is computer architecture and systems, focusing on security and performance. He discovered the cache sharing fairness problem, argued for Quality of Service (QoS) in multicore memory hierarchy  , invented split counter mode memory encryption and Bonsai Merkle Tree , which have significantly influenced Intel Cache Allocation Technology and Secure Guard eXtension (SGX)'s Memory Encryption Engine (MEE). In 2017, he received IEEE Fellow “for contributions to shared cache hierarchies and secure processors”. He is listed in the HPCA Hall of Fame and ISCA Hall of Fame. Solihin is the founder of ARPERS research group at UCF and NCSU.

Career
He obtained his B.S. degree in computer science from Institut Teknologi Bandung in 1995, B.S. degree in Mathematics from Universitas Terbuka Indonesia in 1995, M.A.Sc degree in computer engineering from Nanyang Technological University in 1997, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1999 and 2002. He is a recipient of 2010 and 2005 IBM Faculty Partnership Award, 2004 NSF Faculty Early Career Award, and 1997 AT&T Leadership Award.

From 2002-2018, he was a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NCSU. He joined as an Assistant Professor in 2002, was promoted early to the rank of Associate Professors with tenure in 2007, and was promoted early to the rank of Professor in 2012. From 2015-2018, he was a Program Director at the Division of Computer and Network Systems (CNS) at the National Science Foundation. His responsibilities include managing parts of the Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC), Computer Systems Research (CSR), and Scalability and Parallelism in the eXtreme (SPX). He co-founded the NSF/Intel Partnership on Foundational Microarchitecture Research (FoMR) program.

Products
Solihin has published more than 90 journal/conference papers, and more than 40 US patents. He has delivered more than 70 invited talks/seminars, including several keynote presentations and multi-day tutorials. His research has received MICRO Best Paper Runner-up Award (2017), IEEE Micro Top Picks (2011), and several Best Paper nominations/finalists (ISPASS 2013, IPDPS 2012, and HPCA 2005). He has released several software packages to the public: ACAPP - a cache performance model toolset, HeapServer - a secure heap management library, Scaltool - parallel program scalability pinpointer, and Fodex - a forensic document examination toolset. His research has been covered by the IEEE Spectrum, US News, PC World, HPCWire, Slashdot, and others.

He has written two graduate-level textbooks:


 * Fundamentals of Parallel Multicore Architecture, CRC Press, 2015.
 * Fundamentals of Parallel Computer Architecture: Multichip and Multicore Systems, Solihin Publishing & Consulting LLC, 2009.
