About


I am a PhD student at KAIST, advised by Prof. Hyunjung Shim. My research has centered on Generative AI, with a specific focus on Text-to-Image (T2I) diffusion models. Previously, I focused on T2I personalization and data-efficient training strategies for diffusion models. My current research interests are expanding toward interpretable AI, with recent works focusing on the interpretability of T2I generative models.

While my focus is on Generative AI, I am broadly interested in various topics across Machine Learning. I am always open to conversations and collaborations, so please feel free to contact me anytime! 😊
