Jalen Chuang

PhD Student in Computer Science
Georgia Institute of Technology, School of Cybersecurity and Privacy

I am a first-second-third-year PhD student advised by Daniel Genkin and Taesoo Kim.
I got my Bachelor's in Computer Science from University of California, Irvine.
My interests are in offensive security research.

I'm working on side channels, TEE security, and staring at dissasembly until my eyes bleed. Previously I did some fuzzing on self-driving cars. Outside of academic research, I also like web security and reverse engineering, and I was a finalist at DEFCON 32/33 with 💦 (Blue Water).
