I am a Senior Research Scientist at Google DeepMind (MTV, CA).
Recently, my research interests are on improving the capabilities of Large Multimodal Models (eg, Gemini), and understanding the interaction of vision and language.
I obtained my Ph.D. and M.S. at KAIST, advised by Professor In So Kweon. I have been fortunate to collaborate with Adobe Research (2019), Google Brain (2020), and Google Research (2021). I am a recipient of Microsoft Research Asia Fellowship, Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship and Global Ph.D Fellowship from NRF Korea.
