I am an M.S./Ph.D. student in the Optimization and Statistical Inference (OSI) Lab at KAIST AI (Kim Jaechul Graduate School of AI), advised by Prof. Se-Young Yun. I received my B.S. in Mathematical Science with a double major in Computer Science at KAIST. My research focuses on generative models — diffusion models, one-step generative modeling, and test-time alignment — as well as the mathematical foundations of bandit algorithms. I am also interested in robotics and diffusion policy.
