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.

I am broadly interested in NLP and multimodal AI, with a particular focus on human-like conversational agents. My long-term goal is to develop embodied conversational agents, such as digital avatars or personal assistants, that interact naturally in real-world environments.

Currently, my research interests lie in integrating multisensory perception into LLMs to support multimodal interactions in virtual environments (e.g., video games). Specifically, I focus on enhancing the capabilities of LLM/VLM agents across simulated 2D/3D environments.

You can find my CV here.
