About Me

I'm a co-founder of Scontain GmbH and a senior research engineer at Huawei Munich Research Center. I obtained a PhD (Dr. -Ing.) from TU Dresden under supervision of Prof. Dr. Christof Fetzer and Prof. Dr. Pramod Bhatotia in Jan 2018. Currently, I'm passionate about building secure and privacy-preserving data analytics systems based on open-source frameworks (e.g., Apache Spark, Tensorflow, OpenCV, PyTorch, and MXNet) and Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) technologies (e.g., Intel SGX/TDX, AMD SEV, and ARM TrustZone).
During my Ph.D., I’ve been lucky to have fruitful internship/collaboration with Bell Labs. Prior to joining TU Dresden, I received my master degree in computer science from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Korea in 2012 under the supervision of Prof. Dr. James Won-Ki Hong.
