I'm interested in developing fundamental computer graphics/vision technologies and applying them to the real-world VFX and animation production. I obtained my M.S. from Visual Media Lab, KAIST, where my interest is well practiced under the supervision of Prof. Junyong Noh. I'm currently in the doctoral course at the same lab and my research topic is a motion capture and retargeting.
