Hi! I am Seungju Lee,

A Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Princeton University working on network security and privacy. I am advised by Professor Prateek Mittal. I am particularly interested in the intersection of QUIC with security and privacy. My work on QUIC censorship circumvention has been recognized by the Andreas Pfitzmann Best Student Paper Award. For the first two years of my graduate studies, I was supported by the Global Korea Scholarship for Study Abroad.

I received my Bachelor’s degree from the College of Liberal Studies, Seoul National University where I majored in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Mathematical Sciences.
