I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Computer Science and Engineering at Kyungpook National University (KNU). Before joining KNU, I earned my Ph.D. from the School of Computing at KAIST. My research focuses on security and privacy, with a particular emphasis on web vulnerability research and cyber-physical systems security.

Notice

  • I am looking for self-motivated B.S. and M.S. students interested in cyber security research. If you'd like to join our research group (NGWS Lab.), please feel free to contact me via email.
