My research interest is how individuals perceive and understand others within complex and dynamic social environments, which led me to major in Cognitive Science during my undergraduate studies. From this perspective, I adopt an integrated approach to social cognition and vision science to understand how visual inputs are transformed into structured social representations at both neural and computational levels. Building on this foundation, I aim to formalize and extend these principles within an artificial intelligence framework. Rather than treating AI as a tool for isolated task performance, I consider it a framework for modeling core aspects of human cognition underlying socially adaptive behavior. By leveraging deep learning and computational modeling, I seek to advance a paradigm in which artificial systems can meaningfully interact with humans and operate coherently within their social environments.
