Hi! I'm a Ph.D. candidate (expected graduation: 2026 Feb) at KAIST AI advised by Prof. Jaegul Choo, working on trustworthy AI in terms of robustness, interpretability and controllability.
During my Ph.D., I spent time at Helmholtz Munich 🇩🇪 working with Dr. Steffen Schneider, at NAVER AI Lab 🇰🇷 working with Dr. Dongyoon Han, and at Qualcomm AI Research 🇰🇷 working with Dr. Sungha Choi. I also studied at Carnegie Mellon University 🇺🇲 as a visiting scholar. In 2021, I obtained B.S. in Computer Science at Korea University.
