My research focused on understanding complex dynamics and mapping them to real-world responses, ranging from linguistic responses to physical reactions.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 2022, advised by Prof. Changick Kim. From 2016, I attended a graudate program in mathematics at KAIST for one and a half years. I obtained my B.S. in Mathematical Science at KAIST in 2016.
