About

Researcher in visual generation and alignment.

I am a master's student in Artificial Intelligence at Korea University and a researcher in UTL Lab. My research interests include image generative models, text-to-image diffusion models, vision-language models, and domain transfer. Looking ahead, I am interested in whether foundation models truly perceive and reason about the world, beyond simply improving them with supervised fine-tuning.

Research Interests

Text-to-image generation, diffusion models, VLMs, domain generalization, and unsupervised domain adaptation.

Future Work

World models, vision-language-action models, and reasoning in LLMs and mLLMs.
