I am currently a research scientist intern at NVIDIA Real-Time Graphics Research, also a final year Ph.D. student at POSTECH AMI Lab. I build photorealistic and social world simulations for the next generation of physical AI and global communication. Specifically, I solve challenging inverse problems of creating photorealistic 3D/4D digital twins (humans, scenes, objects) using real-time graphics and generative modeling.
