I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering at Kyung Hee University, leading the Secure and Private Intelligence Computing Systems Lab. As the name suggests, we work on topics about HW/SW/AI Security and Privavy, including :

• Diverse Privacy-Enhancing Techniques (FHE, MPC, ZKP, DP, FL) for diverse AI applications (RAG, LLM, MCP, On-device AI)
• Integrating Hardware and System Security measurements (such as TEEs) with PETs
• Accelerators and Side-channel attacks for/against Post-Quantum Cryptography
• Using AI for security purpose, such as automatic generation of flawless programs
