Bio
Golden G. Richard III is an applied computer scientist working in cybersecurity and a Fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. He has over 45 years of practical experience in computer systems and computer security. He is currently Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, Director of the LSU Cyber Center and the Applied Cybersecurity Lab (ACL), and Associate Director for Cybersecurity at the Center for Computation and Technology (CCT), all at LSU.
His primary research interests are memory forensics, digital forensics, malware analysis, exploit development, reverse engineering, systems programming, operating systems, high performance computing, and massively threaded applications. Dr. Richard earned his B.S. in Computer Science from the University of New Orleans and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from The Ohio State University. His first floppy drive cost $600 and required financing; despite that, he’s still very much alive.
