Hi! =)

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois, Springfield, USA. Before that, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Fontbonne University, USA, and at the National Institute of Technology, India. Before that, I was a Research Professor in the Department of Computer and Information Security at Sejong University, Seoul, South Korea. I was also a Postdoctoral Fellow at the KINDI Center for Computing Research at Qatar University in collaboration with Purdue University, hosted by Qutaibah Malluhi and Ryan Riley.

I earned my Ph.D. from the Information Security Lab at Kyungpook National University, South Korea. I successfully defended my doctoral thesis on December 07, 2016, and graduated on February 17, 2017. During my Ph.D., I was extremely fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Kee-Young Yoo and Prof. Eun-Jun Yoon. I also closely work with Prof. Ashok Kumar Das and Prof. Hyun Sung Kim. My primary research interests revolve around Cryptography and Cybersecurity. I am mainly involved in research projects related to Authentication Protocols.
