$ about
I am an M.S.-Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST). At the Ubiquitous AI Lab, I am advised by Prof. Taesik Gong.
$ research interests
As AI models become more capable, their computational demands also grow. My research in Efficient AI focuses on reducing memory usage and inference latency. Building on this, I study On-device AI to address the challenges of running these models within the resource constraints of users' own devices. I also work on Personalized AI, adapting general-purpose models to individual needs and preferences.
