About
I am a member of technical staff at xAI. My research covers efficient AI, AI systems, and model compression, with a focus on large language models. Before joining xAI, I was a Ph.D. student in Berkeley AI Research (BAIR) at UC Berkeley, where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Kurt Keutzer. During my time at Berkeley, I was selected as a MLCommons ML and Systems Rising Star and was a finalist for the NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship in 2024. Even before joining to Berkeley, I graduated from Seoul National University, where I was ranked 1st in the entire class of 2020 (overall GPA: 4.29/4.30, major GPA: 4.30/4.30). In my undergrad years, I was honored to work with Prof. Jangwoo Kim and Byung-Gon Chun.
