I have recently defended my thesis and will be joining the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) in Korea. My webpage has moved here! Priviously, I was a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at the Johns Hopkins University, expecting to graduate in May 2012. My research advisor here at Hopkins is Dr. Andreas Terzis and I am a member of the Hopkins interNetworking Research Group (HiNRG). I received my Master of Science in Engineering degree in computer science at the Johns Hopkins University in December 2009 and for the 2007-2008 academic year, I was awarded the prestigious Abel Wolman Fellowship from the Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins. Also, I served as the president of the Korean Graduate Students’ Association (KGSA @ JHU) for two years from 2008 to 2010. Prior to moving to Baltimore for my graduate studies, I received my Bachelors in Engineering degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Korea University, Seoul, Korea in February 2007. At Korea University I spent two exciting years as an undergraduate research student at the Wireless Data Communication Laboratory (WIDEN) under the supervision of Dr. Hyogon Kim. From January 2010 to April 2010 I was at Stanford University as a visiting researcher working with Dr. Philip Levis at the Stanford Information Networking Group (SING).

My research interests include medical wireless sensing applications, low-power embedded network system/protocol design and the deployment of such systems to real environments. I am also interested in wireless network security and issues related to medium access control in wireless networks. I have externally reviewed papers for conferences and journals including ACM SenSys, IEEE/ACM IPSN, IEEE SECON, EWSN, IEEE MILCOM, IEEE ICNP, IEEE RTSS, BodyNets, IEEE SUTC, ACM SIGMOBILE Mobile Computing and Communications Review, KICS/IEEE Journal of Communications and Networks, Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems and IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing.
