I am an AI researcher in the W AI Creation team at NAVER WEBTOON. My research topics span the area of computer vision. I obtained a Ph.D. at Ajou University, advised by Prof. Kyung-Ah Sohn. Throughout that time, I had mostly involved in projects of image enhancement or restoration tasks, such as image super-resolution. Currently, I am interested in generating, translating, or manipulating images with user-guided information, hoping to make a user-friendly content creation tool.
