About Me. I’m a Ph.D. student at the Security Optimization Lab (SOR Lab) in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seoul National University, under the guidance of Professor Yunheung Paek. My research agenda develops hardware-assisted mechanisms that efficiently address fundamental systems security challenges such as memory safety and isolation, leveraging architectural primitives including Arm Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) and trusted execution environments (TEEs). My work is grounded in low-level systems development across the compiler/toolchain, operating system kernel, and hypervisor. Please checkout my Curriculum Vitae (CV) for more information.
