Ph.D. student, Graduate School of Data Science, Seoul National University

I am a Ph.D. student in the Graduate School of Data Science at Seoul National University, advised by Prof. Yohan Jo in the Human-Oriented Language Intelligence (HOLI) Lab.

My research centers on pluralistic value alignment: how robots and language models can recognize, reason about, and respect diverse human values in everyday settings.
