Taehyun Yang

Taehyun (태현) is Tay (rhymes with day) + hyun (rhymes with Funyun).

I'm a second-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland College Park, working with Fumeng Yang at FIGX Lab.

My research interest lies in modeling human decision-making in open-ended tasks and building systems that support exploration and reflection.

I received my B.S. in Computer Science & Engineering and Business Administration at Seoul National University. Previously, I was an undergraduate intern at HCIL @SNU, KIXLAB @KAIST, and Tech4Good @UCSC, and a SWE intern at Samsung Electronics.
