Taesoo Kim


Taesoo Kim is Professor in the School of Computer Science, College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology, which he joined in 2014 after completing his Ph.D. at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Kim is interested in building computing systems where underlying principles justify why it should be secure. Those principles include the design of the system, analysis of its implementation, and clear separation of trusted components.

Ada Gavrilovska

Alexandra Boldyreva, Ph.D., is an accomplished researcher in the areas of cryptography and information security who has published nearly three dozen works about public key and other encryption methods.

Jacob Abernethy


Jacob Abernethy is an Associate Professor in the College of Computing at Georgia Tech. He started his faculty career in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan. He completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of California at Berkeley, and then spent two years as a Simons postdoctoral fellow at the CIS department at UPenn. Abernethy's primary interest is in Machine Learning, with a particular focus in sequential decision making, online learning, online algorithms and adversarial learning models.

Calton Pu

Calton Pu

Calton Pu, Ph.D., is a Professor in the School of Computer Science, College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research interests are in the areas of distributed computing, Internet data management, and operating systems. His current projects fall under the areas of cloud computing (Elba) and big data (GRAIT-DM) research. Using experimental data from realistic benchmarks, the Elba project studies the  phenomena of very short bottlenecks that have large impact on N-tier system response time.

Milos Prvulovic

Milos Prvulovic

Milos Prvulovic, Ph.D., is a professor in the School of Computer Science, College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research focuses on hardware and software support for program monitoring, debugging, and security. His research of side-channel emmanations and side-channel attacks has led to widespread interest from professional societies, the media and additional reserach sponsors -- most recently attracting a $9.4 million award from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for continued study.

Wenke Lee


Wenke Lee, Ph.D., is executive director of the Institute for Information Security & Privacy (IISP) and responsible for continuing Georgia Tech's international leadership in cybersecurity research and education. Additionally, he is the John P. Imlay, Jr. Professor of Computer Science in the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, where he has taught since 2001. Previously, he served as director of the IISP's predecessor -- the Georgia Tech Information Security Center (GTISC) research lab -- from 2012 to 2015.

Maria Konte


Maria Konte is a research scientist at the School of Computer Science at Georgia Tech and affiliated with its Institute for Information Security & Privacy. Her research is network security. Her work on network reputation as a measure to defend against cybercriminal infrastructures, appeared at ACM SIGCOMM15, and NANOG62 Research Track. She received the Passive and Active Measurement Conference Best Paper Award 2009 for her work on hosting infrastructures of malicious DNS domains. She received her Ph.D. in Computer Science from Georgia Tech in 2015.

Seymour Goodman


Seymour E. Goodman, Ph.D., joined the Georgia Tech faculty in 2000 as Professor of International Affairs and Computing and Co-Director of the Georgia Tech Information Security Center, jointly in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs and the College of Computing. Prof. Goodman's research interests include international developments in the information technologies (IT), technology diffusion, IT and national security, critical infrastructure protection, and related public policy issues.
