Short Bio

I am a postdoctoral researcher at UNIST Vision and Learning Lab (UVLL), UNIST. I received Ph.D. from UNIST in 2025, under Prof. Kwang In Kim and Prof. Seungryul Baek. I received M.S. and B.S. degrees from UNIST.

Research Interests

Human-centric deep learning and computer vision tasks, including human/hand pose estimation, human/hand mesh reconstruction, and human/hand generation.

Robotic vision tasks, including dexterous robot hand detection and pose estimation.
