이진영 교수는 한국과학기술원(KAIST)에서 2023년에 박사학위를 취득하였다. 이후 삼성전자 네트워크사업부에서 책임연구원으로 근무하였으며, 국립한국해양대학교 조교수를 거쳐 2026년 8월부터 가톨릭대학교 정보통신전자공학부에 재직하며 ROOT Lab을 운영하고 있다.

물리적 신호의 고유 특성을 활용한 물리계층보안을 연구하고 있으며, 은닉통신, 물리계층인증, 물리계층 키 생성을 핵심 축으로 RF/광/수중음향 등 매체에 구애받지 않는 다양한 통신 시스템들의 보안 프레임워크를 구축하는 연구를 수행 중이다.

Professor Jinyoung Lee received his doctoral degree from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 2023, with a thesis on machine learning aided physical-layer security for wireless communications. He subsequently worked as a Staff Engineer in the Network Business Division at Samsung Electronics, followed by an appointment as Assistant Professor at National Korea Maritime and Ocean University. Since August 2026, he has been a member of the Department of Information, Communications, and Electronics Engineering at The Catholic University of Korea, where he operates the ROOT Lab. 

His research focuses on physical-layer security that leverages the inherent characteristics of physical signals as security primitives. The lab's four core research axes are covert communication, physical-layer authentication, physical-layer key generation with the overarching goal of building a security framework that is independent of the communication medium, spanning RF, optical, and underwater acoustic channels. He actively serves as a reviewer for leading IEEE journals including Transactions on Signal Processing, Transactions on Wireless Communications, and Transactions on Information Forensics and Security.
