Chia-Che Tsai

Chia-Che Tsai is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at Texas A&M University, part of the College of Engineering. He joined the faculty in Spring 2019 after earning his Ph.D. from Stony Brook University in 2017 and completing a postdoc at UC Berkeley's RISE Lab. His educational background includes an M.S. from Columbia University and a B.S. from National Taiwan University.

His research focuses on operating systems, software security, and secure hardware, with emphasis on compatibility, performance, and hardware support. Key interests include library operating systems (e.g., Graphene), SGX-based security, and cloud computing. He has received notable awards, including the 2016 EuroSys Best Paper Award and NSF grants for confidential cloud applications and resilient systems.

Teaching responsibilities span courses like Operating Systems (undergraduate/graduate), Software Security, Distributed Systems, and Secure Computer Systems. His work integrates practical system design with theoretical principles, addressing challenges in multi-tenant environments and secure execution.

Current research explores enclave-based security, deterministic debugging, and virtualization techniques. He leads projects funded by NSF and collaborates with industry partners, emphasizing real-world impact in secure computing systems.
