PhD candidate in AI Graduate School
I am a Ph.D. candidate at the AI Graduate School, GIST, advised by Prof. Hae-Gon Jeon. I am currently conducting my research at Yonsei University, South Korea.
My research lies in 3D Vision for human and scene understanding, particularly in modeling physical interactions and human cues for robotics and embodied AI. I am interested in building 3D representations of humans and environments that enable digital twins, human-robot interaction, and real-world robot deployment.
