Byoungyoung Lee is a systems and software security professor with 15 years of experience bridging deep academic research and practical engineering in confidential computing, fuzzing, and vulnerability analysis. He progressed from graduate research at Georgia Tech through industry internships at Google and Microsoft Research to faculty roles at Purdue and Seoul National University, where he now leads research and teaching initiatives. His work blends hands-on systems experimentation with principled security theory, producing tools and techniques that improve real-world software reliability. Unusually for an academic, he has direct product-oriented experience building a web firewall early in his career and collaborating with major browser and research security teams. Based in South Korea, he mentors the next generation of security engineers while maintaining active collaborations across industry and academia. His PhD from Georgia Tech underpins a track record of translating foundational research into deployable security solutions.
