About Me

Welcome to my homepage! I am a Ph.D. student studying Artificial Intelligence at Sungkyunkwan University. I am advised by Professor Moohong Min in the Software Laboratory. My research sits at the intersection of large language models and security, spanning jailbreak and multimodal attacks, retrieval-augmented generation, and also forensic analysis of AI agents. I aim to understand how AI systems fail under adversarial pressure, and to turn those failure modes into defenses and accountability mechanisms that hold up outside the lab.

Here is a link to my curriculum vitae. (Last updated October 2026)
