Hi! 👋

I'm an M.S. student in Culture Technology at KAIST and a member of the Visual Media Lab . My work explores how visual systems can represent geometry, motion, and physical contact to understand and generate dynamic 3D and 4D worlds.

I'm especially interested in models that remain grounded in spatial structure and physical interaction over time — qualities that make generated scenes more coherent, controllable, and useful.

My research journey began with applied computer vision and LLM-based knowledge extraction, including projects in medical imaging, deepfake detection, and urban perception. Before KAIST, I worked at the Qualcomm Institute , UC San Diego's division of Calit2, on machine learning for health-data prediction and detection.

🧭 Research

My research spans 3D and 4D vision, generative video, human–object interaction, and controllable visual generation, with a focus on geometry- and contact-aware modeling.
