I will join the University of California, Irvine as a Master of Computer Science student in Fall 2026. I completed my B.S. in Electronics and Electrical Engineering at Dongguk University, where I am currently an undergraduate research assistant at ML-Lab, advised by Prof. Jihie Kim. My research focuses on reasoning over structured and visual data — table reasoning and chart/document understanding for LLMs and VLMs. Feel free to reach out via GitHub or email.
