CV | Google Scholar | Github

I am a Staff Researcher at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT).

I received my Ph.D. and B.S. degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Yonsei University in 2023 and 2018, respectively, advised by Professor Euntai Kim. I was a research intern at Adobe Research (San Jose, CA) in 2021. During my internship, I worked at the Creative Intelligence Lab with Joon-Young Lee, Seoung Wug Oh, and Brian Price as my mentors.
