My Journey in Mobile OS Research
Seehwan Yoo leads the Mobile-OS Lab at Dankook University, guiding students through fundamental and applied problems across operating systems, cloud infrastructure, trusted execution, and storage systems. His group bridges low-level systems design with empirical analysis—covering SGX and TrustZone enclaves, Xen-ARM real-time virtualization, RocksDB/LevelDB on ZNS SSDs, and SIMD-friendly learned index structures.
He emphasizes reproducibility and infrastructure you can actually ship: Kubernetes-based teaching clusters, Ceph + ZNS benches, and SGX exploit harnesses. Yoo’s work appears in IEEE TMC, IEEE Access, ACM SoCC, BigComp, NVMSA, SYSTOR, and other international and Korean venues.
Current Focus Areas
- Secure execution environments (SGX, TrustZone, Python JIT hardening)
- Storage systems and tiered compaction on ZNS SSDs, Ceph, RocksDB/BlobDB
- Learned indexes (RMI, ALEX, SIMD-accelerated search, RB-SkipList variants)
- Kubernetes-based education clouds, CryptoJacking observability pipelines
Vision
Build trustworthy, high-performance computing stacks that connect operating systems, secure execution, and intelligent storage—so students and collaborators can turn ambitious systems ideas into reproducible, real-world impact.
