Seoul National University

I am a Ph.D. student at the Computer Vision Lab, Seoul National University, advised by Prof. Kyoung Mu Lee.

My research focuses on application-oriented image restoration, with a primary emphasis on task-driven image restoration, which develops restoration models to improve the performance of downstream high-level vision tasks. Motivated by challenges in practical deployment, my previous work also includes real-world image restoration, which aims to recover high-quality images from realistically degraded inputs.

Recently, I have been particularly interested in leveraging foundation models, such as diffusion models and vision-language models, as powerful priors and tools for image restoration.
