I'm a M.S./PH.D Integrated student at Kim Jaechul Graduate School of AI, KAIST, advised by professor Jaegul Choo.

I am deeply interested in AI research, particularly in Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models and Video Diffusion Models. With experience in Robotics and Generative Video Models, I aim to contribute to the advancement of real-world applicability through innovative AI technologies.
