Hi, I’m minkyu kim 👋

I received my M.S. degree in Artificial Intelligence from POSTECH in August 2025, where I was a member of the POSTECH Efficient Learning Lab (EffL) advised by Prof. Jaeho Lee. Prior to POSTECH, I earned my B.S. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Chung-Ang University (CAU).

My research interest lies in multimodal learning, which trains artificial intelligence by using data from various domains (such as images, text, and audio). My main goal is to design artificial intelligence that assists people in various situations, and I am currently seeking opportunities where I can apply my skills in generative AI and multimodal learning to solve real-world challenges.

In EffL, I mainly focused on data compression, and my final project was on text-guided image compression. Previously, I worked with Prof. Tae-Hyun Oh on audio captioning, and with Prof. Sangpil Kim on event-based photometric stereo.
