AI Researcher · Korea University

Building intelligence that can perceive, adapt, and collaborate.

I am an integrated M.S.–Ph.D. researcher in Artificial Intelligence at Korea University. My work connects neural signals, embodied systems, and interpretable machine learning to make human–AI collaboration more adaptive and trustworthy.

My research spans Physical AI, brain–computer interfaces, and explainable AI. I am particularly interested in systems that learn from implicit human feedback and translate it into safer real-world behavior.

Research focus

01

Physical AI

Embodied agents that learn to operate safely in dynamic environments with humans in the loop.

02

Brain–Computer Interfaces

Robust neural decoding, cross-subject adaptation, and multimodal interfaces grounded in EEG.

03

Explainable AI

Counterfactual methods that reveal why fine-grained models fail and how their decisions can improve.
