Intro

πŸ“Œ I will be recruiting Ph.D. students for Spring or Fall 2026 and actively looking for interns throughout 2025 and 2026. Please see the Openings section for more details.

I am an Assistant Professor at the College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore. Prior to joining NTU, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the MURGe-Lab (UNC-NLP Group) at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, working with Prof. Mohit Bansal. I received my Ph.D. degree from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 2023, advised by Prof. Sung Ju Hwang, and won the best Ph.D. Dissertation Award from the KAIST College of Engineering and School of Computing. I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST).

My research broadly focuses on building robust AI systems that can reliably and safely understand and interact in a dynamic, ever-changing multimodal world. I’m particularly interested in their ability to adapt to diverse problems and environments while continually improving their capabilities and skills (with broader interests that extend beyond this area as well).

My recent research interest includes the following topics:

  • Scalable and Multimodal Continual Learning
  • Multimodal Reasoning and Controllable Generation for Videos
  • Post-Training for Robustness to Out-of-Distribution Scenarios
  • Reliable and Safe Multimodal AI
  • Efficient Training and Inference for Large Models
