I am a Ph.D. student advised by Prof. In So Kweon and Prof. Junmo Kim at KAIST, and was a research intern at LG AI Reseach, working with Dr. Pyunghwan Ahn and Dr. Jinhyung Kim.

My research centers on developing data-efficient and robust recognition systems that address limitations and biases in image and video data. I am currently focusing on enhancing vision-language models to improve compositional reasoning and multi-modal understanding for more robust and comprehensive recognition systems.
