Ronald S. Indeck received the BSEE, MSEE, and PhD degrees from the University of Minnesota. He was a National Science Foundation Research Fellow at Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan. Since 1988, he has been in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Washington University where he is the Das Family Distinguished Professor and Director of the Center for Security Technologies. He has published more than 40 peer reviewed technical papers and been awarded more than a dozen patents. He has received many awards including the NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award from President Bush, the IBM Faculty Development Award, the Washington University Distinguished Faculty Award, the IEEE Centennial Key to the Future Award, and the IEEE Young Professional Award.

He is a Fellow of the IEEE, member of the American Physical Society, and many other professional organizations. He has served on many local committees and group activities, chaired sessions and served several international conferences including General Chairman for International Magnetics Conference, was an editor for the IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, and is President of the IEEE Magnetics Society.

Indeck is experienced in magnetic measurements and modeling, physical security and authentication and currently leads research in projects of recording physics, magnetic devices, authentication, and exploiting massive databases.
