Hello! My name is Jason Kim, and I am a third-year PhD student in the Hardware Security Lab advised by Prof. Daniel Genkin. I am part of the School of Cybersecurity and Privacy at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I graduated from the University of Michigan in May 2021 with my bachelor's degree in computer science, where I worked on projects with Daniel and Prof. Kevin Leach.

I am interested in offensive hardware security and side channels. My work is to scrutinize exotic optimizations in microarchitecture, and investigate if these optimizations carry implications for security. Within this field, my focus is on recent ARM SoCs and the security of web browser engines.

Before side channels, I worked on machine learning models for binary analysis, network security and intrusion detection systems, and a little bit of bioinformatics alongside my undergraduate minor in biology. I was also on the course staff of Michigan's computer security course for two years as a teaching assistant, and brought components of it over to Georgia Tech's Introduction to Information Security over a year's tenure.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, movies, hiking, traveling, road tripping, working on cars, tubing/boating near Atlanta, and discovering new restaurants and bars.

My lab is on floor 9 of the Coda Building, at 756 W Peachtree St NW, Atlanta, GA 30308, and my email is nosajmik (at) gatech (dot) edu. That's kimjason spelled backwards, and originally was my username at Michigan.
