I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of Georgia, specializing in digital forensics and system security. I am advised by Prof. Kyu Hyung Lee and conduct research at the Institute for Cybersecurity and Privacy (ICSP).

My prior work includes developing FA-SEAL, a cryptographic scheme that enables forensic analysis of encrypted audit logs without full decryption—facilitating selective, privacy-preserving investigations. I also contributed to SynthDB, a program analysis–based tool for generating realistic databases to improve vulnerability discovery in web applications.

Currently, I’m focused on advancing intrusion detection systems (IDS) through automated alert verification, leveraging artifact analysis to reduce false positives. This helps alleviate the burden on human analysts by improving the accuracy of detection results.

Before pursuing my PhD, I earned a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering (2018) and worked as a Security Analytics Engineer at LogPoint. This industry experience gave me firsthand insight into real-world cybersecurity practices and helped shape my research direction.
