I am currently an associate professor at the department of electrical engineering and computer science, DGIST. Before joining DGIST in August 2018, I worked as a research fellow at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA from October 2016 to July 2018. I received a Ph.D. degree in School of Computing from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 2016. My research interests include system design and analysis with timing guarantees and resource management in real-time embedded systems and cyber-physical systems.
