I am an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities - Twin Cities and an adjunct professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at KAIST. I received PhD degree from the computer science department at the University of Southern California under the guidance of Gene Tsudik and joined University of Minnesota in 2002. I received his MS and BS degrees in Mathematics from Yonsei University in 1993 and 1991. Before joining U of Minnesota, I worked as a research staff for two years in Sconce Group in UC Irvine. Before coming to the US, I worked 6 years in ETRI for securing Korean cyberinfrastructure. I received NSF career award on storage security and McKnight Land-Grant Professorship Award from University of Minnesota in 2005. My research interests include security issues for networked systems such as social networks, cellular networks, P2P systems, medical devices, storage systems, sensor and ad hoc networks, and anonymous communication systems.

Advertisement: I will join the Department of Electrical Engineering at KAIST, Korea, as a full professor starting from Fall 2012. If you are interested in graduate studies at KAIST, please send me email with your full resume.
Advertisement 2: To replace my position, University of Minnesota is hiring tenure-track assistant professor in system security.

Research Interests and Publication by Area

I am interested in security of emerging and current networked systems. My research (almost always) involves design/implementation of attacks, design/implementation/analysis of secure systems. Over the past 10 years as a faculty member, I've been working on security of various systems, which are going to expand more in the future. List below was impossible without many bright and hardworking students.
