Inès Kim

Hello, I'm Inès Kim

I am an incoming Ph.D. student at Caltech, advised by Prof. Georgia Gkioxari. I am completing my M.S. at KAIST AI, advised by Prof. Seungryong Kim. During my M.S., I had the fortune to work with Prof. Honglak Lee at University of Michigan, and with Joon-Young Lee and Gabriel Huang at Adobe Research. My main research interest is general perception in video, especially Track Any Point (or point tracking), and its application to the 3D/4D video understanding and robotics (Physical AI).

I'd love to connect with you! You can reach me at ines [dot] kim [at] kaist.ac.kr to chat.
