About me

I am incoming Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park. I am also a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at the Republic of Korea Air Force Academy.
I received my M.S. in Computer Science and Engineering from Seoul National University, advised by Ted “Taekyeong” Kwon and B.S. in System Engineering from the Republic of Korea Air Force Academy. My research interests focus on privacy-preserving networks, machine learning-driven networked systems, user privacy, computer security, and future wireless networks.

Here is my CV for more info!
