Hi, I'm a PhD student in the IRT lab. My advisor is Professor Henning Schulzrinne.

My work so far has been on the development of a working prototype for Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1), a SIP-based emergency communication system.

I am planning to build on the work to do research on the dependability of VoIP systems.
Regarding dependable distributed systems, I'm interested in three viewpoints:

1. System design
2. Techniques for high availability
3. Applying model checking to protocols

I received an M.S. in Computer Science from Columbia University in May 2006 and a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering from Seoul National University in February 2005.

Candidacy Exam

I recently passed the candidacy exam on "Availability of Network Application Systems" on February 3, 2010. The focus was on the problems that application service providers have to tackle when deploying services on the internet using commodity servers: namely, path failures and server failures. CDNs, and DNS systems are presented as current practices.
