About

Hi, I'm the Product Owner and Lead of AI at SOCAR, the largest car-sharing platform in the Republic of Korea. I recently finished my MS in cybersecurity at Korea University, advised by Professor Huy Kang Kim. Before my MS, I was a visiting researcher at Carnegie Mellon University supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT of the Republic of Korea, and I completed my BA in Business Administration at Korea University Business School. My research interests are robustness in machine learning (especially in federated learning), representation learning, and utilization of causal inference to the interpretability of machine learning models.
