Recently, I was awarded the Sejong Science Fellowship by the National Research Foundation of Korea. Since September 2024, I have been working as a (Sejong Science Fellowship) Postdoctoral Researcher in Prof. Stefan Zohren's lab at the University of Oxford, where I've been focused on time-series analysis based on deep learning.
I am actively seeking academic positions starting from September 2025, with a focus on my research interests in Deep Learning, Time-series analysis, and Finance. In my future role, I hope to continue exploring the intersection of AI and financial markets, with a particular emphasis on developing more robust predictive models.
