Hi! My name is Seoyeon Park (Seo Yeon Park), and I'm an Assistant Professor at Hanyang University ERICA starting in Fall 2024. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) under the supervision of Prof. Cornelia Caragea. My main research interests span artificial intelligence, information retrieval, and natural language processing. Please email me if you are interested in working with me.
