About
I am an M.S. student in the Trustworthy AI Lab at Korea University, advised by Prof. Jongheon Jeong. My research interests lie in trustworthy generative models and structured visual understanding, with a particular focus on the reliability and controllability of diffusion models and object-centric representation learning. Ultimately, I aim to build AI systems that operate reliably in real-world settings and can be trusted by people.
