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.
I am deeply interested in the limits of the thinking machine and what can and cannot be computed. Can the human mind be simulated by a machine? Currently, I study the interaction between reasoning and knowledge retrieval, with a focus on Retrieval-Augmented Generation through Multi-turn Search-integrated Reasoning and LLM Agents. I am particularly interested in the behavioral patterns and limitations of RL-based LLM agents.
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.
