About

Hello! I am a Ph.D. student in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech, advised by Alan Ritter. Before starting my Ph.D., I worked as an Applied Scientist at NAVER Clova, where I contributed to the development of a vision-language foundation model, HyperCLOVA X Vision. I received my B.E. in Statistics, B.S. in Computer Science & Engineering, and M.E. in Software from Korea University.

My research focuses on AI for science with large language models. I am particularly interested in two directions: extracting actionable knowledge from scientific corpora, and improving information-to-decision capabilities through numeric prediction of scientific quantities. More broadly, I study reinforcement learning and post-training methods for improving these abilities, as well as reasoning from expert solutions and tool use, which are important components of AI systems for scientific discovery.
