Hi🙌🏻 I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Applied AI at Sungkyunkwan University and a member of
Data eXperience Lab, advised by Professor Eunil Park.
My research interests broadly lie in the area of social computing, to tackle the problems within our society and find solutions through computational approaches. Specifically, I'm currently interested in understanding human behaviors and emotions from human-centered perspective by utilizing data science and deep learning.
For more information about my research experience, please refer to my Curriculum Vitae.
