About

Currently working as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Artificial Intelligence at the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS) His research aims to develop technologies that enhance human-AI collaboration by addressing key challenges in language processing, including subjectivity, uncertainty, and diversity. Previously, I completed my PhD at Leiden University and was a Master AI Student at the University of Amsterdam.

My current work explores the intersection of human and artificial intelligence, with particular emphasis on Large Language Models (LLMs) that can effectively collaborate with humans while accounting for the nuanced and subjective nature of language. This research contributes to the growing field of Hybrid Intelligence, where human capabilities and AI systems complement each other to achieve better outcomes than either could alone.

Besides my academia, I practise a Korean martial arts, called Haedong Kumdo Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu, combining traditional sword-fighting ⚔️ and archery 🏹.
