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. Currently, my research interests are expanding toward AI Safety. Given the widespread accessibility of T2I models to end-users, I am dedicated to ensuring these systems are robust, safe, and aligned with human intent.

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