I'm an M.S. student at the Privacy and Applied Cryptography Lab (PAC Lab), DGIST, advised by Prof. Young-Sik Kim. My research focuses on post-quantum cryptography, from hardware implementation to side-channel analysis. I also work on post-quantum security in non-terrestrial networks and on machine learning, particularly diffusion models and differential privacy.

I enjoy taking photos. You can also find my travel blog, dev blog, and Notion blog.
