About Me
I am a Ph.D. student at KAIST EE, advised by Professor Junmo Kim. My research focuses on multimodal representation learning across vision, language, and audio, with an emphasis on building more efficient and effective models.
Beyond this, I also explore related topics such as multimodal captioning, end-to-end autonomous driving, fairness in AI, and automatic speech recognition, aiming to bridge fundamental research with real-world applications.
