Keunju Song

Hi there! I am a Ph.D. candidate in Electronic Engineering at Sogang University and a member of NICELAB. My research focuses on energy AI, power systems, graph neural networks, physics-informed learning, and foundation models. I am particularly interested in scalable and transferable AI methods that respect the topology and physical constraints of real power systems.

I received my B.S. degree in Electronic Engineering from the Tech University of Korea in 2021. In 2025, I worked as a visiting graduate student at Argonne National Laboratory, contributing to physics-informed graph learning and grid foundation-model research for AC optimal power flow.
