I joined Myongji University in March 2011. Before then, I was a research scientist at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, Giheung, Korea. From Nov. 2007 to Feb. 2010, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Security, Technology, and Seciety (ISTS) at Dartmouth College. During that time, I worked with Prof. David Kotz for the MetroSense project and TISH (Trustworthy Information Systems for Healthcare) project. For my doctoral thesis, I developed a peer-to-peer lookup scheme specially tuned for multi-hop wireless networks, under supervision of Prof. William A. Arbaugh.

CV

I direct the Human-based Mobile Computing Laboratory (HMCL), which works on designing the architectures and security/privacy mechanisms of mobile systems that provide services to mobile users based on their situation inferred by sensor data. Specifically, I am interested in the following research questions:

• What can a personal mobile devices (e.g., Smartphones or Tablets) learn about the user's syntactic and semantic situations?
• How can we leverage the sensor-rich personal devices to build a large-scale people-centric sensing systems?
• What are the challenges in providing situation-aware mobile services and people-centric sensing systems?
• What is the privacy and security risk of the user when his or her mobile device is actively participating situation-based services?
