Research Experience
- Postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley, hosted by Prof. Sanjam Garg, studying cryptography.
Education
- Ph.D. in Mathematical Sciences from Seoul National University, advised by Prof. Jung Hee Cheon.
Background
- Broadly interested in cryptography from theory to practice. Current research focus is on cryptographic primitives for secure computation (e.g., homomorphic encryption, secure multiparty computation) and their applications (e.g., private database query, privacy-preserving machine learning).
