I am a first-year Ph.D. student at Seoul National University, advised by Prof. Gunhee Kim. Before that, I received my B.S. in CSE from POSTECH in 2025.
Throughout my life, I’ve been thinking about how to formulate the right questions at the right time. This naturally connects to my research: understanding what is known and unknown to a model, and how it decides what to _search_ next to achieve its goals. More broadly, I’m interested in whether the human mind can be simulated as a thinking machine. Currently, I study knowledge retrieval and memory systems, with a focus on retrieval-augmented generation and agent memory.
In parallel, I enjoy abstracting thoughts and mapping their relationships into my own language. For me, conversation serves as a medium to interpret others' mental models, allowing me to discover new axes for my thinking.
