Nice to meet you! I am Minjoon (Miles) Choi, an undergraduate student majoring Computer Science & Engineering at Seoul National University.

I am interested in, and performing research on Large Language Models. Specifically, I have a deep interest on investigating the knowledge encoded in language models, and enhancing the robustness/fairness of these models.

Previously, I have worked for 3 years as a software developer at Dunamu, a Fin-Tech corporation that developed Korea’s #1 digital asset exchange Upbit. You can find out more about my professional experience in my CV.

I am expecting to be a PhD applicant for 2026 Fall !
