I am a research intern at NVIDIA Real-Time Graphics Research and a final-year Ph.D. student at POSTECH, advised by Tae-Hyun Oh. My research aims to recreate the interactive physical world in full detail: people and the objects and scenes they interact with. I pursue this by combining large-scale generative models with graphics-native representations that can be animated, relit, and rendered in real time, with a current focus on neural appearance models. Ultimately, I envision such digital twins as a canvas for human creativity and a training ground for physical agents.
