SangHyeok Lee
I am an undergraduate student in Information and Communication Engineering at Inha University. Currently, I am an AI Engineer Intern in the Physical Intelligence Lab at LG AI Research.
Previously, I worked on diffusion-based generative models at the Generative Computing Lab, advised by Prof. Namhyuk Ahn, and completed the Naver Boostcamp AI Tech program with a focus on computer vision.
My research interests include multimodal learning, world models, and diffusion models.

Publications
StyleComposer: Training-Free Multi-Reference Style Composition
TL;DR: A training-free method that composes color, texture, and spatial structure from separate references and provides independent control over each attribute.
Compositional Image Synthesis with Inference-Time Scaling
TL;DR: A training-free framework that improves compositional text-to-image generation by grounding LLM-synthesized layouts and reranking candidates with an object-centric VLM judge at inference time.
