I am an assistant professor at GIST AI, with a research focus on exploring diverse data science methodologies in the pursuit of developing general intelligence.

  • Reinforcement learning
  • Neuro-symbolic learning
  • Representation learning
  • Human-AI alignment
  • LLM agents
  • Evaluation frameworks

As a mentor, I guide my students to find joy in the process by tackling complex problems, emphasizing methodological rigor, thoughtful experimental design, and insightful data-driven analysis.
