I am a Ph.D. student at the Data Intelligence (DI) Lab at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), advised by Prof. Hwanjo Yu.

I develop recommendation systems that capture and elicit users’ latent intentions from their interaction history. By bringing together multimodal signals, I aim to make these hidden preferences clearer, and recommendations more accurate and explainable. I also work on multimodal retrieval, representing and aligning different modalities to connect a user’s query with the most relevant document.
