About Me
I am a combined M.S./Ph.D. student at the Artificial Intelligence Graduate School (AIGS), Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), working in the UNIST Vision and Learning Lab (UVLL) under Prof. Seungryul Baek.
My research focuses on 3D computer vision, in particular fast methods that reconstruct animatable 3D hands and humans from as little as a single image. I am also interested in vision-language models and vision-language-action learning.
I received my B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering from Kyungpook National University.
