I'm an M.S. Computer Science student at Kennesaw State University and a Graduate Research Assistant in the Learning and Sensing Research (LaSER) Lab, where I work on electronic-nose (machine olfaction) research. Before Kennesaw State I studied Smart Computing at Kyungdong University in South Korea.
Most of my research so far is in affective computing: multimodal emotion recognition and conversational agents that respond to how a person feels. I also build free tools for students and everyday users, often for jobs people usually pay for, like PDF editing, image analysis and an AI assistant. My Streamlit apps have passed 5,000 views.
- Research: electronic-nose sensing, olfactory datasets and contrastive learning
- Learning: Rust and Tauri, to build small desktop apps with a web front end
- Building: Giscard AI, my multimodal assistant
- Setup: Fedora Linux
- Open to: collaboration on sensing, affective computing and tools for students
- Away from the keyboard: photography, travel and strategy games
