I am a Ph.D. student at POSTECH, advised by Tae-Hyun Oh. My research aims to advance photorealistic virtual experiences and simulation by synthesizing realistic 3D/4D digital twins from limited data and observations.

During my PhD period, I was fortunate to work as a research scientist intern at the Meta Codec Avatars Lab, working with Chen Cao, Yaser Sheikh, and Jovan Popović. I also work closely with Gerard Pons-Moll and was a visiting Ph.D. researcher at the Real Virtual Humans Group at the Univ. of Tübingen. I received my bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from POSTECH.
