Seunghwan Lee is the Chief Executive Officer and Representative Director of waLLLnut Co., Ltd.,  a deep-technology company focusing on blockchain privacy, privacy-preserving computation,  and cryptographic system optimization. He is also affiliated with Hanyang University,  where his research spans cryptography, secure signal processing, and cyber-physical systems.

Dr. Lee’s recent research emphasizes latency-first fully homomorphic encryption (FHE16), with particular interest in primitive-gate-based computation, compact and hardware-friendly bootstrapping, and the interplay between FHE and multiparty computation.

As the CEO of waLLLnut, Dr. Lee leads the development of cryptographic technologies for privacy-preserving blockchain systems, including secure smart contract execution, off-chain and layer-2 computation, and efficiency-oriented cryptographic primitives. These efforts naturally extend to broader encrypted computation settings, where strict latency and resource constraints are also critical, such as real-time and feedback-driven systems.
