Currently, I am an Assistant Professor (Teaching Track) in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Gwangju, Republic of Korea.
I am interested in graph theory and combinatorics, with a particular focus on spectral graph theory and its applications. I also study artificial intelligence and machine learning for complex data analysis, as well as reinforcement learning as a tool for solving problems in mathematics.
