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.

AI in cognitive work does more than automate tasks. It alters the memories that we would have formed by doing the work ourselves. The processes of thinking, exploring, and learning are meaningful in their own right. Such processes create memories of effort and growth that contribute to a grounded sense of self. Yet many current AI tools focus on producing complete outputs, often bypassing these processes. My research aims to design human–AI interactions that expand, rather than replace, memory-forming experiences. In particular, I (1) study how people think and reflect during AI-assisted learning and knowledge work, and (2) develop interactive AI systems that scaffold these processes.

During my master’s and bachelor’s studies, I gained industry experience as an ML 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.
