I am a research associate the Department of Computer Science, King's College London. My research is focused on search-based software engineering, i.e. applying meta-heuristic search techniques to the problems in software engineering. My current research interest mainly lies on issues regarding regression testing, including selection and prioritisation of test suites and how to exploit the existing test data. I am also interested in meta-heuristic optimisation in general.

I am a member of following research groups/projects:

• King's College Software Engineering Group
• CREST : Center for Research in Evolution, Search and Testing in King's College
• SEBASE(Software Engineering By Automated SEarch) : an EPSRC-funded project on search-based software engineering

Apart from the research, I :

• am a Mac user: Apple, Appleforum(in Korean)
• am (well, used to be) a Newton Messagepad user: NewtonTalk. Like many others, I am now using an iPhone but still miss the Newton sometimes...
• am a music fan; the list of my favourite artists will be too long to fit in here, but some of my serious listenings include King Crimson, Genesis, Yes, Miles Davis(leaning toward late 60's-early70's work), Frank Zappa - mostly rock/jazz from 60s and 70s, but I do like other genres as well.
• like to read on variety of subjects: some of my preferred authors are J.L Borges, Umberto Eco, Ellery Queen, G.K. Chesterton, George R.R. Martin, Roger Zelazny, and J. Huizinga.
• am a struggling amateur photographer; my Flickr page is here.
• like to play board-games, mostly modern German-style games(also refer to Boardgamegeek). I also write reviews and translate games through Boardwalk(in Korean), a web site which I run by myself. My 10 out of 10 rated games currently are: Age of Steam, Die Macher, GIPF, Tigris & Euphrates. I attend Swiggers regularly.
