I work across music technology, embedded systems, and Korean traditional music research.
My background is in EECS, hardware, and software development, but much of my work has been shaped by a long-standing interest in sound, instruments, and musical expression.
My current research asks how natural musical expression can be represented computationally. I approach that question through work on Haegeum sanjo, a form of Korean traditional instrumental music, with a focus on ornamentation, notation, and labeling. While currently on leave from my Ph.D. program, I continue this research alongside my professional work. Through that work, I hope to build representations and datasets that reflect expressive performance in musically meaningful ways. In the longer run, I want to explore how those foundations might support more natural Korean traditional music performance sounds.
