I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I joined the AHHA Lab, advised by Prof. Sunghoon Ivan Lee.
I am currently an AI Scholar at Samsung Research America, where I work on foundation models for wearable physiological signals.
My research interests:
Health Informatics / Digital Health / Wearable Sensors:
Applying machine learning to human movement data from IMU sensors or videos for diagnosing and monitoring patients
Designing patient‑centered, personalized health information systems
Machine learning, Deep learning
I worked as a Machine Learning Engineering Intern at Apple during the summer of 2023. I worked as a research engineer at Robotics Lab., CTO division, LG Electronics for about five years (from July 2014 to March 2019). I received the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and the B.S. degree in Electronics Engineering from Ewha Womans University.
I'm on the job market—I am currently seeking industry or postdoctoral opportunities.
