Background
A 3rd-year M.S.-Ph.D. integrated student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Korea University, conducting research at the Machine Learning and Vision Lab (MLV) under the supervision of Professor Hyunwoo J. Kim. Broadly interested in optimizing generative AI to better serve human needs, particularly through the intersection of generative models and black-box optimization methods, including Bayesian Optimization, Neural Bandits, and Reinforcement Learning.
Miscellany
Actively seeking internship opportunities where I can apply my research skills and contribute to impactful projects.
