Quick Bio
My primary research interest lies in understanding the neural information processing mechanisms underlying visual perception, i.e., 'what is processed and how,' to support high-level object classification. To explore this, I utilize hierarchical neural network models leveraging deep learning techniques, complemented by experiments involving human behavior and brain imaging. Before starting my PhD, I studied electronic engineering during my undergraduate studies and specialized in deep learning during my master's at Kumoh National Institute of Technology, South Korea. Subsequently, I conducted research in computational neuroscience at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology.
