I am a Ph.D. student majoring in Computer Science at the University of Cambridge, where I am supervised by Prof. Cecilia Mascolo and funded by Nokia Bell Labs. I worked with Dr. Jagmohan Chauhan and Prof. Cecilia Mascolo in the summer of 2020 as a research assistant and 2019 as a visitor. Also, I worked as a research assistant with Prof. Dimitris Papadias at HKUST from February 2020 to June 2020.
I received my M.Phil. in Computer Science and Engineering from HKUST, where I was advised by Prof. Pan Hui and Prof. Raymond Wong. I received my B.S. in Semiconductor Systems Engineering from SKKU, where Prof. Jee-Hyong Lee advised me.
My research focuses on resource-constrained mobile systems to enable context-aware adaptation to the changing environments (e.g., new inputs and users) in real-time while preserving privacy. To this end, I leverage computational methods from continual learning, machine learning, and network science.

I love traveling to new places since I can meet entirely new people with different perspectives towards lives, worlds, etc.
