About Me
I am a second-year PhD student in Information Technology at MIT Sloan, exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, scientific knowledge, and societal decision-making. My research is particularly centered on the generalization problem, which encompasses domain generalization in machine learning and the generalizability crisis in the social sciences. Ultimately, the investigation aims to enhance human decision-making under shifting environments through AI systems that integrate scientific knowledge with a wide spectrum of underrepresented social contexts.
I interned at Amazon Alexa AI for the summer of 2023.
Before MIT, I was a research fellow at Carnegie Mellon University specializing in language models and argumentation. I received a B.S. in physics and a B.A. in knowledge ecology from Seoul National University.
My studies have been generously supported by scholarships with the most competitive funding in South Korea: SBS Foundation Scholarship (graduate) and the Presidential Science Scholarship in physics (undergraduate).

My publications and ongoing projects so far are the results of collaborating with physicists, computer scientists, historians, cognitive scientists, and political scientists, which implies how open I am to interdisciplinary discussions. If there’s any interesting research ideas you would like to discuss, please don’t hesitate to write me an email!
