Hello! I’m Young-Han Son, a PhD candidate at the Department of Artificial Intelligence, Korea University.
My research focuses on physics-based modeling for computational lithography, particularly on embedding optical physics, such as diffraction theory, into ML architectures. I am also working on molecular optimization for drug discovery, with interests in optimization and reinforcement learning.
I also co-supervise projects in medical AI.
Outside of research, I’m a coffee lover ☕ — I enjoy AeroPress and hand-drip brewing, and love exploring a variety of coffee beans.
