About me
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 am currently interested in exploring security and privacy challenges in AI, addressing them through both human-centered and technical approaches.
Before starting my Ph.D., I was advised by the amazing Professor Min Suk Kang at KAIST.
For anyone who wants to talk to me, feel free to reach out via email!
