I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy (MPI-SP) in Bochum, Germany. My research focuses on brain-inspired machine intelligence, exploring how principles from neuroscience can inform the design of more capable and aligned AI systems.

I received my Ph.D. in Science from Korea University, where I developed machine learning approaches for animal behavior analysis. Previously, I worked at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST).

My current research interests span three themes: machine memory (memory-driven learning), machine behavior (human-like decision-making and AI alignment), and machine emotion (empathetic machines). I develop computational tools bridging neuroscience and AI, including SUBTLE for unsupervised behavior mapping and Lp-Convolution for brain-inspired visual processing.
