About Me

I am currently a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Baylor University, under the supervision of Dr. Chen Zhao. Prior to this, I received my M.S. in Artificial Intelligence from Dongguk University (DGU), South Korea, in March 2024, under the guidance of Prof. Hyerung Jang. My research focuses on generative modeling, image synthesis and reconstruction, AI-generated content detection, explainable artificial intelligence, and computational pathology. My work has been published or accepted by venues including IJCAI, TMLR, KAIS, and Expert Systems with Applications.

Outside of my academic life, I have a cat named Taurus, who has accompanied me across South Korea, China, and the United States. I also enjoy watching comedy series, learning new hobbies, and swimming.
