Postdoctoral fellow, NIH/NIMH

About

I'm a computational cognitive neuroscientist working with Chris Baker in the Laboratory of Brain and Cognition at NIMH.

My broad interest is understanding the nature of neural representations in biological and artificial systems. My dissertation studied how high-dimensional neural geometry underlies visual experience, focusing on the representational properties that support rich visual perception and the analysis methods for characterizing them.

I received my Ph.D. in Cognitive Science (Computational Track) from Johns Hopkins University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Mick Bonner. Before that, I earned an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from KAIST and a B.A. in Cognitive Science from Carleton College, with honors in music performance. I also worked at LG AI Research and Samsung Electronics.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring the city, reading, and movie nights with my partner, Youngrock.
