Byung-Ki Kwon

Ph.D. candidate in Artificial Intelligence · POSTECH

Available for full-time positions from February 2027.

My research focuses on visual generative modeling, particularly video generation and interactive world models. Building on motion modeling and 3D geometry, I aim to make visual generation more controllable, consistent, and reliable.

I am advised by Tae-Hyun Oh.
