I am an incoming Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, advised by Prof. Stella Yu, starting Fall 2026. Previously, I completed my bachelor's degree (Summa Cum Laude) in Computer Science and Engineering at POSTECH.
Research
My research interests lie in computer vision and deep learning, with a particular focus on developing systems that emulate human cognitive processes. I aim to create machines that perceive not merely to recognize, but to truly comprehend the physical world. Accordingly, I am currently focusing on the following topics, among others:
Grounded visual understanding
Structured visual priors
Robust generalization
Context-aware representation
