About

Hi there!

I am an assistant professor in the School of AI Convergence at Soongsil University. My interdisciplinary research lies at the intersection of AI/NLP, data science, and social science. I advance language-centered AI to address pressing societal challenges, particularly misinformation and social bias, which are issues amplified by both human behavior and generative AI systems. To tackle these challenges, we formulate technical problems through dataset curation, develop language-oriented AI methods aligned with human perspectives, and apply these methods to real-world data. My work has been published in leading venues in AI/NLP, data science, and interdisciplinary research, including ACL, WWW, and ICWSM. Since 2021, I have led the HUMANE Lab (Human-Centered Language and Data Intelligence) at Soongsil University.

Before joining Soongsil University, I was a postdoctoral researcher at UCLA, working with Dr. Jungseock Joo (now primarily affiliated with NVIDIA). I also held a postdoctoral position at the Qatar Computing Research Institute, where I collaborated with Dr. Haewoon Kwak, Dr. Jisun An (both now at Indiana University Bloomington), and Dr. Sanjay Chawla. I received my Ph.D. in Web Science from KAIST, under the supervision of Dr. Meeyoung Cha (now primarily affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy).

I am open to academic and industry collaborations. Please feel free to reach out!
