Hi, I’m a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Seoul National University where I am advised by Prof. Gunhee Kim as a member of Vision & Learning Lab. In addition, I am currently a Research Scientist Intern at KRAFTON AI.

I’m interested in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Multimodal Artificial Intelligence (Multimodal AI), with the long‑term goal of building human-like embodied conversational agents capable of both talking and acting naturally across diverse (e.g., chat, game, embodied) environments to assist humans as cognitive partners.

My current research interests include, but are not limited to:

• Conversational agents for social interaction/simulation
• Robust multimodal (vision-language) perception and reasoning
• Systematic evaluation of cognitive behaviors in language models and agents
• Post-training LLM/VLM agents for sequential decision making (e.g., multi-turn RL)

You can refer to my Research Statement: Towards Coherent Embodied Conversational Agent, if interested in.
