Hello. I am a PhD student at KAIST, advised by Jinwoo Shin and Kimin Lee. Currently, I am working closely with Honglak Lee at University of Michigan.
My research interest lies on applying RL algorithms to challenging tasks where reward specification is burdensome. To this end, I am focusing on designing RL algorithms to tackle practical and challenging scenarios like unseen novel environments and environments without well-shaped rewards. I am also broadly interested in RL researches including RL with representation learning, language‐conditioned RL, and offline RL.
Prior to my graduate studies, I was a machine learning engineer at Recommendation Team of Kakao. Before that, I completed my BS in Computer Science at KAIST.
