About
I am a graduate student at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), advised by Prof. Kimin Lee. I received a B.S. degree in Statistics / interdisciplinary major in AI at Seoul National University. I am interested in AI alignment and AI safety. In past projects, I have investigated the impact of data on model performance through influence functions, and the safety degradation of fine-tuned LLM agents. My goal is to develop methods that provides safety in a scalable manner, even for large powerful models.
