I am an assistant professor in the Department of Convergence Security Engineering at Sungshin Women's University. My research interests lie in the areas of system and hardware security, with a focus on software vulnerabilities and microarchitectural attacks. Before joining SSWU, I served as a senior researcher at the National Security Research Institute. I earned my Ph.D. degree from KAIST under the guidance of Prof. Yongdae Kim. Additionally, I collaborate closely with Prof. Seungwon Shin.
