Taeho Jung

I am an Associate Professor and the Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. I am honored to be named the Dennis O. Doughty Collegiate Professor of Data Security and Privacy, and since joining the department, I have led the Data Security and Privacy Lab (DSP-Lab).

I am an NSF CAREER awardee (2024). I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at Illinois Tech in 2017 and the B.E. degree in Computer Software in Tsinghua University in 2011.

Open Ph.D. position. I am looking for a Ph.D. student to work on trusted execution environments (TEEs) for secure and trustworthy AI and large language models (LLMs). If you are interested, please read the information for prospective students and email me the following:

  • Curriculum vitae (CV)
  • Unofficial transcripts from all of your previous studies
  • English proficiency test scores (if you are an international applicant) and GRE scores with percentiles (if you have taken the exam)
  • A brief description of your research interests and how they relate to the lab’s research areas
  • Sample publications (if any)

When you apply to the CSE Ph.D. program, please list me as a potential advisor.

Research

At the DSP-Lab, our research explores how to achieve security, trust, and privacy in cyberspace. Focusing on applied cryptography and blockchain technology, we collaborate with academic and industry partners to investigate this broad area of cybersecurity—spanning from algorithms to hardware, and from cyberspace to the physical world.

Homomorphic encryption and secure computation

Computing on data without revealing it: fully homomorphic encryption, private set intersection, private stream aggregation, and multi-party computation.

Blockchain and data provenance

Blockchain systems for accountable data sharing: provenance with linkage privacy, fair data trading, anonymous credentials, and decentralized databases.

Trusted execution and zero-trust data sharing

Trusted execution environments such as Intel SGX and confidential VMs, and zero-trust designs that protect data while it is in use and when it is shared.
