About

A mathematical perspective on generative intelligence.

I build generative models that do more than create compelling images. I want them to capture structure, identity, and how the world evolves.

I'm a Ph.D. student in Artificial Intelligence at Yonsei University, advised by Prof. Youngjung Uh in the Visual Intelligence Lab. My background is in mathematics, from harmonic analysis to neural tangent kernels.

My research spans diffusion and flow-based generation, semantic control, and consistent generation. Most recently, at Microsoft Research Asia, I explored internal predictive states for physically plausible video world models.
