Interests

I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of ECE, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea. My Ph.D. thesis focuses on deep learning and low-level image restoration problems, particularly image super-resolution. My primary research interest lies in deep learning-based image processing to achieve superior image quality from in-the-wild inputs.

Currently, I am with the AI Center at Samsung Electronics. I have been fascinated by the immense potential of large language models (LLMs) and am actively exploring their applications, particularly in large-scale in-house datasets and manufacturing process optimization.

Beyond my research, I am deeply interested in analyzing various open-source libraries and frameworks, as well as understanding how complex systems operate efficiently in large-scale distributed environments. I also enjoy working on side projects that integrate AI into daily life.
