Integrated M.S./Ph.D. Student Β· DMIS Lab, Korea University

Researching language systems across domains, with a focus on biomedical & clinical NLP.

I am an integrated M.S./Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at Korea University, working with Prof. Jaewoo Kang in the DMIS Lab. I study how NLP and large language models become reliable domain-specific systems β€” through food computing, scam detection, clinical text-to-SQL, and biomedical question answering β€” and I now focus on biomedical and clinical applications.

Selected publications

What I work on

  • Biomedical and Clinical NLP

    My current focus: NLP and LLM systems that reason over biomedical text, structured clinical data, and domain-specific knowledge to support scientific discovery and clinical decision-making.

  • Reliable Domain-Specific LLM Systems

    Across domains, I study what it takes to turn a general-purpose language model into a system that can be trusted in a specialized setting.

  • Previous Application Domains

    Before concentrating on biomedical NLP, I studied how NLP systems must be adapted and evaluated under the constraints of other specialized domains β€” each project shaped how I think about reliability, evaluation, and domain knowledge.
