About Me

I am a second year Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at University of California, Santa Cruz. I am a member of Computer Vision Lab advised by professor Roberto Manduchi. I have received my Master’s degree in Computer Science from Kookmin University, Seoul, South Korea. My master’s thesis was about Learning from time Series. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Kookmin University, Seoul, South Korea. My research interests are as follows; (1) Improving sequential data modeling (sensors, time series etc), (2) Multi-modality understanding of various data types, (3) Human-Computer Interaction with AI fairness (Enhance AI to better benefit people, especially minority groups).
