Kangkook Jee

Dr. Kangkook Jee has been an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Texas at Dallas since 2019. Dr. Jee earned his doctorate in Computer Science from Columbia University under the supervision of Professor Angelos D. Keromytis. Before joining UT Dallas, he spent five years at NEC Laboratories America as a security researcher, tackling various real-world security problems. Throughout his academic journey, he has published over 30 academic papers and has been awarded patents addressing research challenges in computer systems, cybersecurity, and machine learning domains. Please find more information about Dr. Jee from his full CV (Google Scholar, DBLP).

Dr. Jee’s current focus primarily spans three research thrusts: (1) system provenance, (2) reversing and decompilation of High-level Dynamic Languages (HDLs), and (3) safety and security of small satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Various private organizations and public agencies, including NSF and NIST, have supported Dr. Jee’s research.
