About Me
Hi! I am a master’s student at the Kim Jaechul Graduate School of AI at KAIST, where I am fortunate to be advised by Chulhee Yun. Starting in August 2026, I will be joining Nota AI as an AI Engineer Intern.
My research interests broadly lie in understanding and improving the training of modern neural networks, particularly large language models. My previous work has focused on data selection, and I have also explored problems involving the adaptation and modification of trained models, including model merging and machine unlearning.
Going forward, I am interested in understanding how training data shapes optimization dynamics. In particular, I am beginning to explore how the amount and timing of high-quality data affect language model pre-training, and how the efficiency and behavior of different optimizers change with batch size and training scale.
