My name is Jeongeun (정은 in Hangeul, ʣʌŋɯn in IPA).
I'm an Associate Professor in Cryptology at the Department of Information Security and Communication Technology, NTNU.
I'm currently working on fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and its applications to privacy preserving protocols.
I received PhD in Mathematics with a specialization in Cryptology at Ewha Womans University in Republic of Korea (South Korea) in Feb, 2021.
Prior to the current position, I was a post-doctoral researcher at COSIC, KU Leuven in Belgium from April, 2021 to March, 2024, working on fundamental FHE as well as privacy preserving machine learning algorithms.
My main research topic is fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and its application to privacy preserving protocols.
FHE allows computation over encrypted data, therefore all the private data can be treated safely while it is processed via the third party such as cloud. One of the attractive applications is machine learning as a service where the a model holder evaluates client's data, to generate prediction for the client while being oblivious to the given data.
