About Me

I am currently pursuing a PhD in the Computer Science Department at Baylor University, Texas, under the supervision of Dr. Chen Zhao. Prior to this, I completed my M.S. in the Department of Artificial Intelligence at Dongguk University (DGU), South Korea, in March 2024, under the guidance of Prof. Hyerung Jang.

Outside of my academic life, I have a cat named Taurus, who has accompanied me across South Korea, China, and the United States. In my free time, I enjoy watching comedy series, learning new hobbies, and swimming, which I find to be the perfect way to relax. If you share an interest in cats, traveling, or swimming, feel free to connect—I’m always open to a chat!
