Selçuk Köse is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Rochester. His research spans hardware security, on-chip power delivery, superconducting electronics, CMOS Ising machines, and quantum computing. He holds the NSF CAREER Award and 23 US patents.

Selçuk Köse is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Rochester, which he joined in 2019. He previously served on the faculty of the University of South Florida (2012–2019). He received his BSc from Bilkent University in 2006 and his MS and PhD from Rochester in 2008 and 2012, with industry experience at Intel, Eastman Kodak, and Freescale.

His research interests include hardware security, on-chip power delivery, superconducting electronics, CMOS-based Ising machines, and the security of the classical-quantum interface. He has been recognized with the NSF CAREER Award and multiple Cisco Research Awards, and serves as associate editor for several IEEE and Springer journals. He will assume the role of ECE Department Chair at Rochester in summer 2026.

Selçuk Köse is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Rochester, which he joined as Associate Professor in 2019 and where he became full Professor in 2024. He previously served on the faculty of the University of South Florida (2012–2019), first as Assistant and then as Associate Professor. He will assume the role of ECE Department Chair at Rochester in summer 2026.

He received his BSc from Bilkent University in 2006 and his MS (2008) and PhD (2012) from the University of Rochester, all in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Industry experience includes the VLSI Design Center at TÜBİTAK, the Central Technology and Special Circuits group in Intel's enterprise microprocessor division, the CMOS Image Sensors R&D Laboratory at Eastman Kodak, and the Microwave and Mixed-Signal Laboratory at Freescale Semiconductor.

His research interests include hardware security (side-channel and fault-injection attacks, covert channels, PUFs, TRNGs, hardware Trojans), on-chip power delivery and reconfigurable voltage regulation, cryogenic and superconducting electronics, CMOS-based Ising machines for combinatorial optimization, and the security and reliability of the classical-quantum interface. His work is supported by NSF, DOE, DARPA, SRC, and industry partners including Cisco.

Honors include the NSF CAREER Award (2014), three Cisco Research Awards (2015–17), and the USF Faculty Outstanding Research Achievement Award (2017). He serves as associate editor for the Journal of Circuits, Systems and Computers, the Microelectronics Journal, and Springer Nature Computer Science, and previously for IEEE TCAS-I. He holds 23 US patents and has co-authored two Springer books.
