I am a Ph.D. student at KAIST AMILab, advised by Tae-Hyun Oh. I received my M.S. and B.S., both in Electrical Engineering, from POSTECH. I work on computer vision, generative models, and image processing — most of my research is about inferring the physical world (shape, motion, color, light) from ordinary images, so that scenes can be relit, re-rendered, and animated rather than merely replayed.
