About

I am a Ph.D. student at KAIST, advised by Prof. Jinwoo Shin, and a Visiting Ph.D. student at University of Oxford, advised by Prof. Yee Whye Teh. I also work closely with Jonathan Richard Schwarz at DeepMind and Prof. Jaeho Lee at POSTECH. My research interests lies in developing efficient and robust machine learning frameworks. In particular, my recent research focuses on developing efficient pre-training and adaptation algorithms by leveraging useful prior knowledge extracted from multiple tasks, e.g., meta- and continual-learning. I am fortunate to be a recipient of Google Ph.D. Fellowship in machine learning.
