Hi, I’m Ihyun!

I am a first year Computer Science Ph.D. student at Stanford University, working with Professor Emma Dauterman. I am broadly interested in cryptography and systems security. I finished my M.S. and B.S. at Stanford, where I was advised by Professors Dan Boneh, David Mazières, and John Mitchell.
