About

I am a 1nd year M.S & Ph.D. student at Algorithmic Intelligence Laboratory (ALIN-LAB), advised by Prof. Jinwoo Shin at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). I received my B.S. in Computer Science School at KAIST in 2024.

My ultimate research goal is to achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) by developing AI models capable of recursive self-improvement. My primary research focuses on reinforcement learning-based approaches, particularly in self-improving systems and test-time reasoning strategies to enhance model performance. I aim to advance these methodologies in key domains such as large language models (LLMs) and robotics.
