NaHyeon Park
I am a PhD student at KAIST AI, advised by Hyunjung Shim. I also work with Anji Liu on reasoning in diffusion language models, since visiting NUS in summer 2026.
So far, my research has centered on text-to-image generation, making it more adaptable and controllable. I am now extending this line of work to video/language generative models more broadly, aiming to understand how they work internally.
I'm happy to chat about fun research ideas & potential collaborations! 😊
