About

I am a B.S. Student in KAIST, Major Electrical Engineering & Computer Science.

I am interested in Computer Vision with a focus on Robot Perception and high-level scene understanding. I am also open to exploring how Multimodal Models and Vision-Language Integration can bridge the gap between visual intelligence and actionable robotic intelligence, aiming to facilitate more intuitive and context-aware interactions in dynamic environments.
