I am a M.S. student at the Advanced Machine Intelligence Lab (AMI Lab), advised by Prof. Tae-Hyun Oh. I am currently enrolled in the Graduate School of Artificial Intelligence at POSTECH.

My research interests include multimodal foundation models, video understanding, and black-box optimization (Bayesian Optimization).
