Sang Kil Cha

I am a Ph.D candidate at Carnegie Mellon University. My research interests are in software security, program analysis, offensive computing, and the intersection of those areas. I am currently working under the supervision of professor David Brumley.

I am seeking a tenured-track academic position where I can do my research on software security. Please refer to my research statement and teaching statement if you are interested.
I am joining KAIST as an assistant professor this Fall! This site will be moved to a new one soon.
