Hi there! I’m an AI Engineer at FlexTecs, and I’m currently applying to PhD programs for Fall 2026.

I recently completed my master’s at Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech, where I was fortunate to be advised by Ashok Goel and Richmond Wong. I also collaborated closely with Christopher J. MacLellan and Brian Magerko. I hold a double major in KAIST School of Computing and KAIST College of Business, where I was advised by Juho Kim.

I study how AI-mediated interactions can extend meaning-making—rather than replace it—while preserving users’ interpretive agency. I design and build personalized, immersive, and reflective AI systems that keep users active participants in making sense of their experiences.

During my master’s and bachelor’s studies, I gained industry experience as an AI Engineer/Data Scientist at Tesla (2024), Samsung SDS (2021), and Samsung Research (2020).

My master’s research was supported by a Georgia Tech Graduate Research Assistant Scholarship. My bachelor's study was fully supported by the Korea Student Aid Foundation's National Scholarship.

I like uncertainty, serendipity, and narrativity.
