TRUEtextI am a postdoctoral researcher at [Texas A&M University](https://www.tamu.edu/), working with Prof. [Yang Shen](https://shen-lab.github.io/). My research aims to build foundational models for biology and chemistry that understand and integrate multiple data modalities such as graphs and texts. The goal of my work is to accelerate scientific discovery by enabling AI systems to reason over complex relational and hierarchical structures found in biological, chemical, and biomedical domains.

During my Ph.D. at [KAIST](https://www.kaist.ac.kr/en) [School of Computing](https://cs.kaist.ac.kr), advised by Prof. [Alice Oh](https://aliceoh9.github.io/), I studied representation learning for structured data, focusing on the intersection of graph neural networks (GNNs) and large language models (LLMs). My Ph.D. research contributed to graph representation learning methods that leverage pairwise and higher-order interactions for graph-structured data (edges [[C2](https://openreview.net/forum?id=Wi5KUNlqWty)], partial subgraphs [[C3](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3511808.3557647)], subgraphs [[C4](https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.04510)], and k-hop subgraphs [[C6](https://openreview.net/forum?id=HZgZrtIreg)]).
