I am a second year PhD student at the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences in University of California, Irvine. My concentration is Software in Infomatics department. I am a member of the Institute for Software Research. My initial advisor was Prof. Thomas A. Alspaugh, and I am currently working with Dean Debra J. Richardson.

My research interests are Software Engineering, Requirement Engineering, Specification-Based Testing, Formal Methods and Ontology.

I am now focusing on course work and trying to find what makes me interested in the world of Software Engineering. To answer why I am here is my ever-lasting question.

Previously, I received B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering at the Ohio State University in 2007. I was a Software Engineer in Korea from 1999 to 2004. I got B.A. in Philosophy at Chung-Ang University, Korea in 1999.
