Visual Representations @ LG

About Me

I am an AI Researcher at LG Electronics Silicon Valley Emerging Technology Lab, CTO Office.

I obtained my M.S. in Computer Science - AI at University of Southern California (USC) and my B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering at University of California - Irvine (UCI). At UCI, I worked closely with Prof. Aditi Majumder on medical AI.

My research interests include Visual Representation, AI Efficiency, and Self-Supervised Learning. Currently, I’m investigating the following topics:

  • Study of Latent Visual Features
  • LLM Acceleration and Long-Context Handling
  • Self-Supervised Learning of Vision-Language Tasks

Also building vertical AI agents at Inframe!
