CV

I am a Senior Researcher at Samsung Research America (SRA), focusing on multimodal understanding for edge devices. Before joining SRA, I was a postdoctoral researcher at POSTECH in South Korea, where I also earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering under professor Minsu Cho. During my research journey, I collaborated with Google Research on multimodal video understanding with Cordelia Schmid and Microsoft Research Asia on biologically-inspired machine vision with Chong Luo.
