More About Me
I find balance beyond my research through two main passions: music and running. My interest in audio and speech signal processing was directly sparked by a love for genres ranging from Neo soul to Jazz, while running offers a different kind of creative recharge.
🎵 Music
My passion for music is a significant part of my life. It was this love for sound that naturally sparked my academic interest in how human voice and instrumental sounds are generated and processed. I enjoy a wide range of genres, including Neo soul, Jazz, Piano, and Alternative Rock. Recently, I’ve been loving the vibrant energy of live concerts, catching various international artists here in Korea.
🏃🏻♂️ Running
I’m an avid runner who loves running to the rhythm of energetic music. It’s my favorite way to clear my head and boost my energy. Last year, I even completed a 10km marathon with my lab members, which was a fantastic and memorable experience.
🎨 Style & Culture
Beyond music and running, I enjoy exploring other cultural activities. I have a keen interest in fashion, particularly drawn to minimal and casual styles. I love discovering new things and embracing a wide range of cultural experiences that enrich my perspective.
