I am a doctoral student in General Linguistics at the Department of Linguistics and Literature at the University of Basel, working under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Lorenza Mondada as part of the SNSF-funded Timed Bodies project.

I completed my MA studies at Sogang University in 2025, in South Korea. My thesis examined how overlapping turns are produced, managed, and categorized as 'interruption' by participants in a livestreamed technology demonstration showcasing a new version of a conversational artificial intelligence (AI) model.

My research interest is grounded in the analytical framework of Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis. My doctoral project, conducted as part of the Timed Bodies project, focuses on how multiple temporalities of embodiment unfold in sequence and time, and how these are systematically and accountably displayed in social interaction.
