About Me

I am a research engineer at General Robotics. Before joining General Robotics, I received my Master’s degree at Machine Learning and Intelligence Lab (MLILAB) from KAIST, advised by Prof. Eunho Yang. I received my B.S. in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from KAIST in 2022, advised by Prof. Alice Oh and Prof. In So Kweon.

During my stay at Carnegie Mellon University as a visiting scholar, I worked closely with Prof. Kris Kitani. Prior to that, I interned at Naver Cloud Computer Vision Team and Samsung Electronics.

My ultimate goal is to contribute to society through AI, with a particular interest in technologies that assist the socially disadvantaged. To achieve this goal, my research mainly focuses on Computer Vision, especially on (i) 3D/4D, and (ii) Vision-Language Models.
