I am a lecturer (assistant professor in the American system) at the School of Computer Science, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK.

My research and teaching interests lie in mutation testing, testing for ML-enabled cyber-physical systems (e.g., ML-enabled automated driving systems), and log analysis (e.g., model inference and anomaly detection). I have published many research papers at venues such as ICSE, ICST, ISSTA, and MODELS and journals such as TSE, EMSE, and STVR. Please see my Google Scholar page for details.

I did my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Doo-Hwan Bae at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), South Korea. I hold a B.C. and M.S. in Computer Science, both from KAIST. This was followed by four years as a research associate/scientist at the SVV (Software Verification and Validation) group, led by Prof. Lionel Briand, at the Interdisciplinary Centre for ICT Security, Reliability, and Trust (SnT) of the University of Luxembourg
