Interested in interpretable RL | Co-founder of Open-Age Academia

Co-founder, Open-Age Academia

I am an independent researcher and a student at Haeryong High School.

My research focuses on developing XAI-driven control algorithms and interpreting reinforcement learning policies, with applications to aerospace systems — particularly orbital dynamics. I am broadly interested in making autonomous control systems that are interpretable.

Outside of research, I co-founded Open-Age Academia, after running into the same wall as a high-school researcher without an institutional email or a lab behind me: the work was ready, but the systems around it weren’t built for someone my age. Open-Age Academia exists to make that path clearer for the next person — a running list of venues and programs that judge submissions on merit, not affiliation.
