I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University, hosted by Prof. Jeremiah Blocki. My research interest lies at the intersection of mathematics and cryptography. In particular, I have been fascinated by exploring the intersection of graph theory and cryptography, focusing on the classical and post-quantum security analysis of Memory-Hard Functions and Proofs of Sequential Work. Recently, I have developed a deep interest in isogeny-based cryptography and its mathematical foundations on number theory and algebraic geometry.

I recently received my Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University, and was honored to be advised by Prof. Jeremiah Blocki. Prior to joining Purdue, I completed my M.Sc in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Seoul National University and B.Sc at POSTECH.
