About

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at University of Maryland, advised by Prof. Heng Huang. Previously, I received an M.S. degree in Artificial Intelligence at POSTECH, where I worked with Prof. Gary Geunbae Lee in the Natural Language Processing Group. Before that, I completed a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering at Hanyang University ERICA.
