I am a Ph.D. student in Computational Science & Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by Prof. Nabil Imam.

My research interests lie in Computational Neuroscience and Graph Data Mining & Graph Algorithms.

In computational neuroscience, I apply deep learning to understand neural dynamics, brain connectivity, and functional representations, and build brain-inspired deep learning models based on neural processing principles.

In graph data mining, I design algorithms and AI models for analyzing large-scale, complex graph data.

Previously, I received my M.S. in Artificial Intelligence at KAIST, advised by Prof. Kijung Shin (Data Mining Lab), and my B.S. in Mathematics at POSTECH (summa cum laude, ranked 1st in the Department of Mathematics).
