Education
  • Ph.D. from Seoul National University, supervised by Byoung-Tak Zhang and Sanghack Lee; M.S. in Computer Science from KAIST; B.S. in Mathematical Sciences from KAIST.
Background
  • Research interests include building trustworthy AI systems whose decision making is robust and interpretable, encompassing the fields of representation learning, reinforcement learning, causality, and explainable AI. Particularly focused on developing robust and efficient algorithms for causal inference and causal discovery, as well as discovering and utilizing useful inductive biases to better align model decisions with human reasoning.
