I am an assistant professor at the Graduate School of Culture Technology (GSCT), KAIST, where I focus on developing machines that bridge the physical and digital worlds to enrich musical creativity.
I have been working on music technology, physics-based computer simulation, and acoustic transducer design, at the KAIST Musical Acoustics and Transducer Instrument Engineering Laboratory.
Prior to the current position I was a postdoctoral associate at MIT RLE, Laboratory for Audio, Music, and Acoustics.
I received Ph.D. (2024) from Seoul National University (SNU), following a B.Sc. (2019) from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH).
