About me
I am a PhD student in Computer Sciences at University of Massachusetts Amherst, advised by Prof. Amir Houmansadr and co-advised by Prof. Pubali Datta.
I am interested in the intersection of computer networking, cloud systems, and security and privacy, with a particular focus on autonomous AI agents. This is related to the following areas: 1) Analyzing security risks that emerges as cloud systems scale, and how AI agents can be fingerprinted and attributed through network-layer signals. 2) Designing privacy-preserving AI agents that leverage cloud and network infrastructure.
Prior to starting my PhD studies, I received my bachelor’s degree from Ewha Womans University in South Korea, advised by Prof. HyungJune Lee.
