I am Chief Technology Officer at an AI for finance startup: Theia Insights and an assistant professor at the KAIST Kim Jaechul AI Graduate School. I completed my PhD at the University of Cambridge researching Natural Language Processing. I researched fact verification, supervised by Andreas Vlachos and was funded by an Amazon Alexa Graduate Research Fellowship.
I am currently not recruiting new students for my lab
Projects
I'm interested in large-scale knowledge intensive natural language processing applications that combine information retrieval with automated reasoning.
