Education and Career

I completed a B.S. (2011.02) and M.S. (2013.02) in Mathematical Sciences at KAIST, and a Ph.D. (2017.08) in Electrical Engineering at KAIST. From September 2017 to April 2025, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at KAIST Institute for Information Electronics Research (IIER). From May 2025 to February 28, 2026, I worked on game development at Sayberry Games. Since March 1, 2026, I serve as Assistant Professor at Daejeon University. I am also developing a solo game project, Hexagon Soup (Steam).

Current Focus

Core tracks are AI x Games Systems, trustworthy AI, and optimization-based decision making. Papers and implementation outputs are managed together to keep results reproducible and transferable.

Hexagon Soup

A solo project that connects AI-oriented system design and experimentation to actual player experience. Planning, systems implementation, balancing, and iterative playtesting are all handled end-to-end.

Research

Research Areas

LLM-Centric System Architecture

Designing end-to-end pipelines from requirement definition to deployment with RAG, tool use, and agent orchestration.

Reliability and Safety

Quantifying hallucination, uncertainty, and policy-risk with test benches and setting operational baselines.

Game Theory and Optimization

Translating pricing, allocation, and scheduling into mathematical models and automating decisions algorithmically.

Edge Intelligence

Deriving practical policies by quantifying latency-cost-quality tradeoffs under resource constraints.

AI-Driven Development

Converting research code into operational code with experiment automation and release standards.

Applied AI Systems

Validating outcomes with user-facing metrics in game systems, interactive software, and education tools.
