Better spatial perception for better embodied action.

Seoul National University · GSAI

I am a Master’s student in the Interdisciplinary Program in Artificial Intelligence at Seoul National University, advised by Prof. Byoung-Tak Zhang. I received my B.S. in Automotive Engineering from Hanyang University.

My research interests lie in Vision-Language-Action (VLA) and Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN), with a focus on developing spatial perception capabilities for intelligent agents that can effectively perceive and interact with dynamic real-world environments.
