“I’m looking for Ph.D. positions for Fall 2026.”

I am an undergraduate student in Computer Science at Seoul National University. I am currently working in SNU Vision & Learning Lab, advised by Prof. Gunhee Kim. I have also had the opportunity to collaborate on research with Prof. Yejin Choi at Stanford and Prof. Niloofar Mireshghallah, Prof. Akari Asai, and Prof. Graham Neubig at CMU.

My research centers on advancing machine learning systems for personal intelligence with a strong emphasis on security and privacy. Specifically, my research interests include (1) recording individuals’ everyday lives as permanent data, (2) developing long-term memory systems for these multimodal records, (3) training imitation agents to learn their own cognitive and behavioral dynamics, and (4) ensuring security and privacy in both long-term memory systems and imitation agent training.

My mission is to help people archive their unique life trajectories and create AI clones that can act on their behalf, enabling them to exist beyond the limits of space and time.
