About Me

I am a Ph.D. student at Data and Visual Analytics Lab (DAVIAN) in Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) advised by Professor Jaegul Choo.
My research interest lies in 2D/3D vision and graphics. I am passionate about leveraging computer vision systems to address real-world challenges and applications.
