About Me
I am dedicated to enhancing human understanding of complex data through advanced analytics, enabling individuals to make more informed decisions in their daily lives. My research centers on Human-Data Interaction, specifically leveraging causal inference and what-if analysis on mobile sensing data to facilitate meaningful behavior change. Through this work, I aim to build rigorous and effective personal health informatics systems that bridge the gap between data and action.
Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Computational Social Science Research Group at Aalto University, led by Prof. Juhi Kulshrestha. My academic foundation was built at the School of Computing, KAIST, where I earned my Ph.D. under the guidance of Prof. Uichin Lee, followed by research experience as a postdoctoral researcher at ETRI.
