Hi, Iā€™m Whanhee! Iā€™m a PhD student at the University of Utah, working with Prof. Anna Fariha in the Utah DBLab. My research focuses on building database systems that provide data management interpretability and explainability. I am particularly interested in data management systems and explainable AI.

I received my B.S. in Computer Science from Hanyang University and my M.S. in Computer Science from Hanyang University under Prof. Yong Suk Choi. During my studies, I worked in the AI Lab, where I focused on natural language processing.
