I am a postdoc at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) advised by Prof. Mark Rau in the Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE). I study music technology, artificial intelligence, and physical modeling, involving audio, music, speech, and acoustics. My research interests include virtual sound synthesis, digital audio effects, musical acoustics, audio signal processing, and numerical simulation. Prior to joining MIT, I earned Ph.D. from Seoul National University (SNU) in 2024, following a B.Sc. from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in 2019. I will be serving as a faculty member of the Graduate School of Culture Technology at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) from Fall 2026.
