I graduated with a Ph.D. degree (conferral date: Jan 2017) from the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University. During my degree program, I worked with Prof. Hakim Weatherspoon on designing and implementing cloud storage systems and novel datacenter network architectures. Before I came to Cornell, I received a M.S. degree in Computer Science from KAIST, Daejeon, South Korea and a B.S. degree in Computer Science and Industrial Engineering with a minor in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea. I recently moved to Yale University to work as a Postdoctoral Associate. Please visit my new webpage which can be reached through the link at the top of this page.
