I am currently fulfilling my alternative military service as an AI Research Engineer at SECERN AI (previously CUBOX), where I work in a small team on 3D Computer Vision.

I'm interested in solving complex problems in generating lifelike 3D avatars to enhance experiences in AR/VR environments.

Previously, I completed my M.S at Seoul National University and my B.A. at the University of Virginia both in computer science. During my M.S, I was fortunate to be part of the Visual Computing Lab under the supervision of Hanbyul Joo.
