I study how the brain makes sense of the world. My research goal is to decipher how our beliefs and goals shape perception and action. To this end, I combine experimental approach (psychophysics, eye-tracking, and neuroimaging) with computational methodologies (state-space models, neural networks, and probability theory).

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at Stanford University, working with Justin Gardner. Previously, I completed my Master's degree working with Sang-Hun Lee and Sukbin Lim, focusing on how intrinsic attractor dynamics in the human brain constrain decision-making and working memory. Before that, I studied Psychology, Statistics, and Biological Sciences at Seoul National University.
