Kirill Igorevich Levchenko

Kirill Igorevich Levchenko is an Associate Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, holding joint appointments in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Siebel School of Computing and Data Science, the Information Trust Institute, and the Coordinated Science Laboratory. His interdisciplinary work bridges systems, networking, and security.

His research focuses on cybersecurity, network measurement, programmable networks, and online misinformation. He investigates real-world network infrastructure vulnerabilities, develops secure protocols for emerging technologies like UAVs, and studies human interactions with digital deception. His work combines empirical measurement with system design.

Recent publications reveal a strong trend in networking systems and security, particularly in programmable data planes, measurement frameworks like PacketLab, and defenses against botnets and spam. He also explores the societal impact of technology through studies on fake media and user perception.
