Hi, I am Junwan Kim
I am a Master’s student in Computer Science at New York University, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Prior to NYU, I earned my B.S. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Yonsei University. My research interests lie in artificial intelligence, with a focus on generative models and multi-modal learning.
