youwang.kim@postech.ac.kr

I am a research intern at NVIDIA Real-Time Graphics Research and a final-year Ph.D. student at POSTECH, advised by Tae-Hyun Oh. I build photorealistic, interactive 3D/4D digital twins for next-generation content creation and physical AI. My recent focus is on creating objects and scenes with photorealistic material appearances by leveraging large-scale generative models, reconstruction models, and neural representations.
