I am a mahcine learning engineer @Scaled Foundations. Before joining Scaled Foundations, I completed my M.S. degree @Algorithmic Intelligence Laboratory (ALIN-LAB), where I was advised by Jinwoo Shin. During my M.S. degree, my research focused on vision language models, generative modeling, and their applications. In particular, I was interested in training and extending the capabilities of large-scale text-to-image diffusion models. Prior to that, I received my B.S. in Computer Science @KAIST.
