01About
Hello, I'm a master's student in Clinical Psychology at Seoul National University. My research focuses on addiction (both substance and behavioral), particularly how decision-making processes shape addictive behaviors.
I'm interested in using computational modeling to uncover the latent cognitive mechanisms underlying impulsive and maladaptive decision-making. Rather than describing behavior at the surface level, I aim to understand the computational processes that give rise to individual differences in addiction.
More recently, I've been studying non-invasive brain stimulation as a promising approach to modulating cognitive control and developing more effective interventions for addiction.
Besides research, I enjoy listening to music, jogging, and playing tennis. I love exploring new things!
