About

Hi! I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, advised by Professor Kevin Jamieson. My primary interests lie in reinforcement learning theory and, more broadly, decision-making under uncertainty, including areas such as multi-agent learning and game theory.

Here is my CV - Curriculum Vitae.
While CV contains my academic or other offical records, you can check out my Somewhat Unofficial Records and Facts at the link.

News

I am delighted to announce that my paper Infrequent Exploration in Linear Bandits have been accepted at NeurIPS 2025! Details will be updated soon.

Experiences

I was fortunate to work as an undergraduate researcher under the supervision of Professor Min-hwan Oh at Seoul National University.

In addition, I have actively participated in competitive programming. I competed in the 47th ICPC World Finals in Luxor, Egypt, in April 2024 and won a Silver Medal (7th place) and was named Asia Pacific Champion, which was an incredibly exciting experience.

Blog

I write blog posts on noteworthy mathematical topics. I am also planning to share my thoughts on reinforcement learning and learning theory. I might add commentaries on my papers, though most of the time the papers should explain themselves sufficiently.
