I am currently a Ph.D. student at SSLAB (System Security Lab), Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University, advised by Hojoon Lee.

Research Interests

My research interests include, but are not limited to:

  • Software testing (fuzzing, sanitizers, etc.)
  • Hardware-accelerated security (e.g., ARM PAC, MTE)
  • Programming languages
  • Compilers for security
  • Systems security (kernel, hypervisor)

More detailed information is available on the CV page and my Google Scholar profile.
