Kim Yu-Ji

I am a Ph.D. student at POSTECH AI and advised by Prof. Tae-Hyun Oh of Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI) Lab @ KAIST.

I have worked on building 3D worlds to enable realistic and authentic scene understanding. My research interests are on 3D reconstruction, generation, and perception, but not limited to.
