My research interests lie in algebraic geometry, and I am currently working as a project research fellow in the School of Mathematics at KIAS (Korea Institute for Advanced Study). Previously, I worked as a research fellow, mentored by Prof. Young-Hoon Kiem, and also as a project research fellow, mentored by Prof. JongHae Keum, at KIAS. Before joining KIAS, I completed my PhD at KAIST in August 2022 under the supervision of Prof. Yongnam Lee.
