Hi!👋 I’m an undergraduate student at KAIST, majoring CS and minoring BCS.
I’m interested in mathematics, neuroscience, and especially artificial intelligence.
I’ve been working as a research intern at KAIST MLAI (advisor: Prof. Sung Ju Hwang) since 2022 Fall.
✨ My current research interest lies in
- Large Language Models
- Efficient Transformer
- Interpretable AI
🌱 I lived in US(New York), Hong Kong, South Korea(Seoul, Daejeon) and I love building connections with people from diverse backgrounds. Happy to connect!😊
