[ Awards | Leadership | Teaching ]
Hi, I am a senior undergraduate student in Physics at Seoul National University.
I am currently a research intern in the Integrated Quantum Systems Lab with Prof. Dohun Kim and working closely with Prof. Eunjong Kim.

I am a prospective PhD student for the 2025 Fall semester!

Research interests
Experimental quantum information processing
  • Designing and realizing novel, programmable quantum devices for fault-tolerant quantum computing.
  • Investigating dynamic phenomena in complex, strongly correlated quantum many-body systems out of equilibrium.
Leveraging many-body physics and quantum information theory
    Bridging theories and techniques from many-body physics and quantum information—such as information scrambling and many-body localization—for applications in benchmarking quantum systems, error-correcting codes, or exploring exotic non-equilibrium phases.
Education

    Bachelor of Science, Physics, Seoul National University
    Mar. 2020 - Feb. 2025 (expected)
    The period includes military service during Dec. 2021 - Jun. 2023
