Summary
Injung Kim is an Assistant Teaching Professor and researcher with nine years of experience at the intersection of HCI, security & privacy, and cloud and network systems. She earned a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Pittsburgh after industry roles at KT, AhnLab, Microsoft Azure, and research positions at Penn State, blending production-grade engineering with academic rigor. Her work spans kernel-level anti-hacking and encryption products to cloud private services, VDI/Open API design, and sensor/cloud tomography—bringing both deep systems expertise and user-facing security insights. Now based in Pohang and recently appointed at Arizona State University, she teaches and advances research that connects real-world enterprise security needs with human-centered system design. An uncommon thread through her career is translating low-level security mechanisms into practical services and educational materials, including e-books and lectures for engineers.
