My blog is under severe but lazy reconstruction!!

I am a Ph.D candidate studying in Security Optimization Lab in Seoul National University, advised by professor Yunheung Paek. My technical background is based on hardware design, but I am currently actively performing research topics related to privacy preserving techniques, such as fully homomorphic encryption, Trusted Execution Environments, and Multi-Party Computation.
