Hi, I'm Gyuna πŸ‘‹

I am an AI researcher and engineer with an M.S. from KAIST ICLab, advised by Prof. Uichin Lee. My work focuses on building and evaluating AI systems that learn from real-world, multimodal data, with experience spanning LLM evaluation, context engineering, agent systems, and sensor-based modeling. Across projects in healthcare, interactive systems, and applied AI, I have been interested in how data, models, and system design come together to support reliable and useful decision-making. Most recently, I studied how context engineering affects the performance and efficiency of LLMs in passive sensing-based inference. Ultimately, I aim to build AI systems that are practical, interpretable, and adaptable to real-world environments.
