I'm a CS PhD student at Georgia Tech, advised by Professor Polo Chau. My research aims to provide explanations and interpretations for various machine learning techniques. I received my B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Seoul National University in February 2021. During my undergraduate, I was supported by the Presidential Science Scholarship.
