Jiyong Yu

I am a final-year Computer Science Ph.D student at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Chris Fletcher. My research interest lies in the intersection between computer architecture and computer security, mostly about micro-architectural side-channel attacks and defenses. My work spans across building comprehensive and efficient side-channel defenses, developing new side-channel attacks on latest processors to designing trusted computing solutions.

Before joining UIUC in 2017, I graduated from both University of Michigan and Shanghai Jiao Tong University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering (dual degree).

I am expecpted to graduate in 2023 Summer and currently on the industry job market!
