AI ResearcherKAIST AI
Hello! I am a postdoc researcher at KAIST AI. I received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Graduate School of AI from KAIST, advised by Prof. Se-Young Yun. During my Ph.D., I visited AWS AI Labs as an Applied Scientist Intern, mentored by Haofu Liao and Srikar Appalaraju. Before AWS, I visited NAVER Webtoon AI as a Research Intern, mentored by Junsoo Lee. My research interests include but are not limited to Audio-Visual-Language Multimodality; Spatial/Social Intelligence of MLLMs; Interactive Voice Agents and Full-Duplex Modeling; Efficiency in Data Synthesis and Model Training. I am currently looking for Research Scientist positions (or equivalent roles) in these areas, so please feel free to reach out!
