Brown University
Hello! I am a first year master's student in CS at
, working with Prof. Randall
Balestriero and Prof. David
Klindt. Prior to joining Brown, I worked as an AI researcher at Boeing.
Even before that, I completed my B.S. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Yonsei University, with a
minor in Astronomy.
I am grateful to have my studies funded through the
scholarship. I am looking for Ph.D opportunities starting from Fall 2027.
Currently, I work on world models and latent action models, with a focus on capturing the symbolic structure underlying the world and human reasoning.

Fulbright moment captured!
I love (almost all) outdoor activities. I love going gym, figure skating, snow boarding, and running. However, I am very bad at cooking so don't ask me for home-cooked Korean food 😛. I am caffeine addicted, so I am always down for a coffee chat.
