Bio
I am a first year Ph.D student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Seoul National University, advised by Jaesik Park. I was also a research scientist intern at SONY Research, hosted by Takashi Shibuya and Masato Ishii. My research interests lie at the intersection of computer vision and machine learning, with a focus on generative models and multimodal understanding.
Full bio ▼I received my M.S. degree from Seoul National University, advised by Jaesik Park, and was honored with the Best Thesis Award. During my master's, I worked as a research scientist intern at Microsoft Research Asia with Chong Luo and Qi Dai.
I earned my B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST). During my bachelor's, I was fortunate to be advised by Jonghyun Choi at Seoul National University and Jeany Son at POSTECH. I was also a recipient of the Presidential Science Scholarship.
