I work as a senior AI researcher at ADD. Concurrently, I’m a PhD candidate at KAIST and a member of Visual Intelligence Lab., advised by Prof. Kuk-Jin Yoon.

The goal of my research is to develop trustworthy visual intelligence to enable safe and reliable model deployment in real-world applications. To achieve this, I work at the intersection of machine learning and computer vision. My current interests lie in representation learning, domain generalization, and adversarial robustness.
