Summary

Electrical engineering undergraduate at Yonsei University currently studying abroad at the University of California, Santa Barbara. My academic training focuses on semiconductors, wireless communications, and digital systems, with hands-on research experience in communication system analysis and probabilistic constellation shaping. Through coursework in Venture Capital & Private Equity and advanced engineering courses at UCSB, I have developed a strong interest in technology investing and the evaluation of frontier engineering innovations. I am particularly interested in venture investment in deep-tech sectors such as semiconductors, communication infrastructure, and autonomous systems.
