About
Hi! I’m an incoming Ph.D. student in Computer Science at University of British Columbia, where I will be advised by Vered Shwartz. I recently completed my master’s at the School of Computing at KAIST, advised by Alice Oh.
My research centers on socio-cultural intelligence in language models — understanding how LLMs reason about minds, navigate cultural differences, and respond to sensitive and context-dependent situations.
For more on my background and research, please see my CV.
