Hyelin Nam

I'm a master student at KAIST, supervised by Professor Jong Chul Ye. Before starting my Master's degree, I was supervised by Professor Jaegul Choo.

My goal is to advance generative models to enhance perception. I have contributed to this by leveraging diffusion models to better understand low-level visual features and align these models with given conditions.
I aim to further their impact by extracting robust representations and applying them to modalities such as video, 3D, and motion.

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