About
I am a Ph.D candidate in my 8th semester in the Department of Artificial Intelligence at Korea University, supervised by Prof. Sangpil Kim. I received my B.S. degree in Mathematics from Dongguk University. I am currently a Visiting Graduate Researcher at UCLA under the supervision of Prof. M. Khalid Jawed. My research interests include multimedia processing, autonomous driving, and AI safety, aiming to build dependable vision systems. Lately, I have focused my research on 3D reconstruction, specifically emphasizing generalizable novel view synthesis.

I am always open to networking and research discussions. Feel free to reach out via email.
