I am an Associate Professor at the School of Computing, KAIST, Daejeon, Korea since 2025. Prior to KAIST, I joined Dept. of Elec. Eng. (adjunct with Grad. school of AI and Dept. of Creative IT Eng.), POSTECH, Korea as an Assistant Professor in 2020 and was appointed as an Associate Professor since 2023. I was also jointly affiliated with OpenLab, POSCO-RIST, Pohang, Korea from 2021 to 2023 as Research Director.
I received the B.E. degree (Valedictorian of the class) in Computer Engineering from Kwang-Woon University, South Korea in '10, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from KAIST, South Korea in '12 and '17, respectively.
I'm currently a joint MS & PhD Student at AMI Lab @ EE, POSTECH. My reseatch lies in 3D machine perception including, 3D Reconstruction, Neural rendering, and Computational Photography, but not limited to.
I am an M.S. student at KAIST's Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI) Lab advised by Prof. Tae-Hyun Oh. I work on computer vision and multimodal learning with a focus on embodied AI. My interests span the perception-to-action stack, emphasizing 3D scene understanding and scene/task representations that support reliable long-horizon planning and execution.
Looking ahead, I aim to build human-like embodied systems that can generate high-level plans from instructions and perception, acquire new atomic skills, refine them at the action level from both observation and interaction using multimodal perceptual signals, and hierarchically compose these skills to execute the plans.
