I am a Ph.D. student in Artificial Intelligence at Kyung Hee University, advised by Prof. Seong-Tae Kim in the AugMented Intelligence (AMI) Laboratory. My research focuses on video-language understanding, with a particular interest in long-form and streaming videos that involve extended temporal contexts.

A central theme of my work is memory-augmented video understanding: how models can retain, structure, and retrieve visual evidence over long temporal contexts. I study this problem through dense video captioning and video question answering, where models need to localize relevant events and reason over temporally distributed information.

Looking ahead, I hope to extend video understanding toward more realistic and interactive settings, such as egocentric video and embodied/VLA scenarios, where perception can eventually support action.
