“We plan, God laughs”
Hyunsik Yoo (柳賢植)
Ph.D. student in Computer Science, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
I am advised by Prof. Hanghang Tong and a member of the iDEA-iSAIL joint lab. I received my B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science from Hanyang University, advised by Prof. Sang-Wook Kim.
My research is in data mining and machine learning, with a focus on personalized intelligence systems — recommender systems, personalized LLMs, and conversational and agentic systems — that are adaptive, trustworthy, and responsive to diverse users.
I'm always happy to connect and discuss potential collaborations. Reach me at yoohh0121 AT gmail.com.
