Yoochan Lee
Postdoctoral Researcher at Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy
I am on the academic job market for the 2026-2027 cycle, seeking tenure-track faculty positions. Please feel free to reach out!
I’m a Postdoc at Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy, with a Ph.D. from Seoul National University.
My research is in systems security, with a focus on the Linux kernel. I uncover the building blocks that systems unintentionally provide to attackers and develop defenses that eliminate them. My goal is to make vulnerabilities unexploitable in practice.
