≡ CV

I'm a first-year PhD student in Computer Science at Michigan State University, advised by Prof. Zijun Cui. I received my M.S. in Bioengineering from Seoul National University in Feb. 2023, where I worked with Prof. Jiook Cha.

My research interests lie at the intersection of computer vision, generative AI, and physics-informed learning. I am interested in embedding physical laws into deep generative and vision models for interpretable and physically coherent 3D motion representations. I have also collaborated with Prof. Shinjae Yoo and Prof. Yuewei Lin at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
