Hyelin Nam

I'm an AI Research Engineer at EverEx. Before joining EverEx, I completed my master's at KAIST, where I was advised by Jong Chul Ye.

Recently, I have worked on diffusion models, leveraging their adaptability to enhance the quality of generated outputs. My goal is to advance generative models to accurately capture real-world dynamics, ultimately enabling them to function as reliable real-world priors.

**I am actively looking for PhD openings starting in Fall 2025.**
