Pim Tuyls studied physics at the Katholieke Universiteit of Leuven and got a PhD in mathematical physics from the same university.

He initiated the work on Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) within Philips Research in 2002. PUFs are now at the heart of Intrinsic-ID's technology development.

As a principal scientist, he managed the cryptography cluster in Philips Research in which the initial research work on PUFs was carried out. Later, he transferred this work to Intrinsic-ID and headed the technology development. Since 2004, Dr. Tuyls is a visiting professor at the COSIC institute of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. His inventions have resulted in numerous patents.

Several of Dr. Tuyls' papers relating to PUF's have been published at leading security conferences. He co-authored the book "Security with Noisy Data," which was published by Springer in 2007.
