## About Hi! I am an incoming postdoc at Stanford working with Prof. Tatsu Hashimoto and Prof. Percy Liang. Recently, I finished my PhD at MIT, where I was fortunate to be advised by [Prof. Aleksander Mądry](https://madrylab.csail.mit.edu/).

I'm currently interested in understanding and improving machine learning (ML) methodology through the lens of data. Some questions I think about include:

  • How do we attribute model predictions back to training data?
  • How do we select the right data for a given task?
  • Can we derive insights about ML phenomena (e.g., scaling laws, emergence, in-context learning) through this lens?

I'm also more broadly interested in the science of machine learning/deep learning.

[News] I co-presented a tutorial at ICML '24 on Data Attribution at Scale: [video] [notes]!

 

Bio

Previously at MIT, I worked on understanding statistical-computational tradeoffs in high-dimensional statistics with Prof. Guy Bresler for my SM thesis. Earlier during my PhD, I was supported by the MIT Akamai Presidential Fellowship and the Samsung Scholarship.

From 2016-18, I served in the Republic of Korea Army in the top signals intelligence unit as a researcher.

Prior to grad school, I received a BS in Computer Science from Cornell University (2011-14), where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Ramin Zabih and Prof. Bobby Kleinberg.

I have interned at Waymo, Dropbox, and Google.

## Personal

I grew up between the Bay Area, Seoul, and Singapore, where I attended SAS.

In my free time, I enjoy lifting, playing basketball, rowing, watching the NBA (nuggets!), watching movies, and learning physics and math.
