Email: qortmdals0@gmail.com

Hi! I am a Ph.D. student at Seoul National University since 2023. I am currently advised by Prof. Jung Ho Ahn and a member of SCALE Lab ↗. Before pursuing Ph.D., I received a B.S. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Korea University in 2023.

My research primarily focuses on high performance memory system for LLMs and DRAM reliability & security. For further information, please refer to my CV.
