Hello!
I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of AI Systems at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and a member of the Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (U-AIM) Lab, advised by Professor Chang D. Yoo. Prior to this, I received my M.S. in Electrical Engineering from KAIST under the same advisor, and my B.S. in Smart Vehicle Engineering from Konkuk University.
My research focuses on enhancing the visual grounding and reasoning capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). Ultimately, I aim to advance Embodied and Agentic AI systems—spanning physical, interactive, and multi-agent AI—that bridge the gap between perception and action to operate reliably in complex environments.
