Research
Interests
System-level phase analysis for various computing environments in IoT ecosystems.
Context-aware computation and optimization for embedded systems.
Operating systems, embedded systems, computer systems and computer architecture.
Current topic I have focused on the use of fine-grained phase context information
which is systematically extracted from an applications’s execution flow. By understanding
how an IoT app is executed over different phases while interacting with diverse environmental
interactions, I’m developing an automated phase detection framework for IoT systems,
from data centers to mobile devices. The framework enables phase-based resource usage
analysis and system optimizations.

Previous Research Projects
• “Personalized Diapause” 2012∼ 2013, CARES : This project is to develop an optimization
technique for reducing wasted radio tail energy consumption of smartphones. By
automatically extracting meaningful network activities from call stack information
of apps, the proposed technique takes advantage of per-user usage characteristics
in predicting network transmissions and saving tail energy consumption. I have
developed and implemented overall idea as the first author.
• “Personalized Optimization for Smart Devices” 2011, CARES : The goal of the
project is to develop a framework for optimization of mobile systems by analyzing
per-user app usage. It identifies distinctive app usage characteristic during runtime
and manages life cycles of applications. I made app usage models, a pattern-based
model and a clustering-based model, to predict future app usage.
Previous Software Projects
• “FINALSearch” 2011, initiated by FINALData : The goal of the project was to
develop a fast file search software on NTFS file-system disks in multi-language
environments. I analyzed the file-system structure and designed an overall program
architecture.
• “FINALAssist” 2010, initiated by FINALData : It is a password decryption software
for accounts on the Windows OS. I developed a file-system analysis module and a
decryption module.
• “FINALForensics 2.5∼3.1” 2007∼ 2010, worked at FINALData : This project was to
design a computer forensics tool for cyber crime investigations. It provides features
for disk analysis such as file recovery and data analyzing. I developed a program
engine for analysis of disk partitions and process memory.
