About
Hello, I am Junyeong Park, a first year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Dept. at KAIST. I am co-adviced by professors Alice Oh and So-Yeon Ahn at U&I Lab and LEAD Lab.
My research interest lies broadly across LLM for social good, specifically in evaluating sociocultural capabilities of LLMs [1][2][3] and exploring LLMs in education domain [4].
I am happy to collaborate with anyone who shares similar research interests. Please feel free to contact me via email at junyeong.park (at) kaist.ac.kr.
