I am a research intern at NVIDIA Real-Time Graphics Research and a final-year Ph.D. student at POSTECH. My research aims to build photorealistic and interactive world simulations for the next generation content creation and physical AI. Specifically, I focus on generating digital twins with photorealistic material appearance, leveraging generative models, neural representations, real-time graphics, and computer vision.
