B.S. in Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence
Seoul, S.Korea | Cumulative GPA: 4.30 / 4.50 (Major GPA: 4.42 / 4.50)

MAILAB, Korea University Aug. 2025 – Present

Research Intern (Advisor: Prof. Tae-Eui Kam)

Visual Brain Decoding Project (BCI)

• Proposed a brain-inspired dual-stream framework separating EEG signals into ventral ('what') and dorsal ('where') pathways.
• Designed a hierarchical alignment mechanism mapping EEG features to specific layers of the CLIP visual model (semantic vs. spatial).
• Achieved ~25% Top-1 retrieval accuracy on the THINGS-EEG2 dataset, outperforming monolithic baselines by 3%.
• Outcome: Published a poster at KOSOMBE 2025 and preparing submission for IEEE BCI Winter 2026.

Emotion Contents Technology Research Center Jan. 2025 – Oct. 2025

Research Intern (Advisor: Prof. Mincheol Whang)

Affective Computing using Physiological Signals

• Conducted research on emotion recognition using physiological signals (rPPG, ECG).
• Developed a deep learning framework integrating physiologically inspired temporal encoding with attention curriculum learning.
• Managed data acquisition and preprocessing pipelines for the MAHNOB-HCI dataset.
• Outcome: Published a paper in Sensors (SCIE, IF 3.4).
