I am a Ph.D candidate studying at Security Optimization Lab (SORLab) in Seoul National University, advised by professor Yunheung Paek.

I have been studying HW/SW/AI Security and Privacy Enhancing Techniques(PETs), and domain-specific Acceleration during my Ph.D. period, focusing on performance and accuracy enhancements of Systems for Privacy-Preserving MLaaS over FHE (using HW acceleration, compiler/mapping/scheduling optimizations).

More information can be found in my Curriculum Vitae (CV). You can also navigate pages of this webpage including Publications. If you are interested or have questions about my research, please feel free to contact me.
