I am a Research Scientist at Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI).

I received Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), where I was advised by In So Kweon.

I am broadly interested in computer vision and machine learning. Specifically, my research interests include

  • Scalable and Efficient Learning; Data-efficient Learning, Multi-modal Learning
  • Generative AI; Image/Video Generation, Multimodal Large Language Models
  • Visual Recognition; Video Understanding and Processing
but not limited to.
