About Me

I am a Master’s student at Machine Learning and Intelligence Lab (MLILAB) at 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 in Carnegie Mellon University, I’m working closely with Prof. Kris Kitani and Dr. Rohan Choudhury.

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, and (ii) Vision-Language Models.
