Kim Youwang
I am a Ph.D. student at AMILab in Electrical Engineering at POSTECH, advised by Tae-Hyun Oh. Previously, I was a visiting researcher at Real Virtual Humans Group at the Univ. of Tübingen, working with Gerard Pons-Moll. I received my bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from POSTECH.
I work on research projects at the intersection of computer graphics, vision, and machine learning. My research interests are on creating 3D/4D virtual humans, animals, and objects with realistic shapes and appearances.
