Applied Scientist @ Amazon Robotics
I joined Amazon Robotics as an applied scientist starting June 2025!
Previously, I was a deep learning researcher at KRAFTON AI, where I focused on developing AI-oriented gaming tools like language-based gaming agent, 3D asset generator, face mesh optimizer and more.
I received my Ph.D. from Robotics and Computer Vision Lab at KAIST, under the supervision of Prof. In So Kweon. In my Ph.D. years, I focused on integrating human visual perception and geometry into deep learning pipeline for better and efficient 3D scene understanding. I was fortunate to work at Adobe Research as research intern with Jianming Zhang and Yannick Hold-Geoffroy, and at Carnegie Mellon University as visiting researcher with Jean Oh and Martial Hebert.
