I am a Ph.D. student at ALIN-LAB, advised by Prof. Jinwoo Shin at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).

My research interests focus on trustworthy machine learning for real-world deployment. I mainly focus on robust learning schemes for handling distributional shifts, e.g., out-of-distribution, adversarial examples, and natural corruptions. However, I also have a broad interest in the interpretability and the transparency of deep networks.
