About Me

Hello, I am a student in the M.S./Ph.D. Integrated Program at the Language & AGI Lab, Yonsei University, advised by Professor Jinyoung Yeo. My research interests focus on dialogue agents, personalized agents, and AI-driven systems for psychological counseling. My ultimate goal is to develop these conversational agents that can be seamlessly integrated into daily life, enhancing individual productivity and supporting mental health. By creating adaptive and empathetic AI, I hope to contribute to a future where technology empowers people in meaningful ways. Thank you for taking the time to explore my work and interests.😊

Here is my CV if you'd like to learn more.
My CV is currently being updated and will be available soon. 😢
