Hello! I am a third year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at University of Washington. I am currently working with Prof. David Wetherall and Prof. Arvind Krishnamurthy, and also collaborating with Dr. Jaeyeon Jung (MSR), and Dr. Matthai Philipose (MSR).
Prior to joing UW, I worked as a software engineer at NHN Corp. for three and half years. Before then, I got my B.S. and M.S. degrees from KAIST.

From Apr.~Jul., I'm interning at Telefonica I+D in Barcelona, Spain!

Research Interests

My research interests are primarily in mobile computing and networked systems. It spans topics like computer networking, operating systems, mobile services, privacy and security. Recently, I have worked on various project in mobile systems (e.g., natural language interface for third-party mobile applications[hotmobile-demo13] studying and providing solutions for smartphone privacy issues[spsm12,nsdi-poster12,ccs11]. Also, I've been involved in a project for creating a new Internet architecture with censorship resistant property[hotnets11]. Prior to studying in UW, I participated in various research projects, such as GPU-accelerated SSL[nsdi11], and online social network analysis[www07].
