About Me

Hi! I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at University of California, Irvine.
My advisor is Padhraic Smyth and I am part of the UCI Data Lab. I received a M.S. degree at Columbia University in New York, and a B.S. degree at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, Korea, both in Electrical Engineering. I am also either an ISFP or an INFP, or someone in between :P

Research Interests

Applications of Machine Learning & Statistical Modeling with focus on text analysis and sequential models, including recurrent neural networks and clickstream analysis. Also has experience in text-to-speech (TTS) and speech recognition (ASR).
