About me (original) (raw)
Hello 👋 I’m Hobin, a first-year Ph.D. student at CMU, where I am fortuate to be co-advised by Professor Nicolas Christin and Professor Lujo Bauer. I have broad interests in LLM-related security and privacy challenges, which I approach from both human-centered and technical perspectives.
Before starting my Ph.D., I was working on network security under the supervision of Professor Min Suk Kang at KAIST.
