About Me

I am a Ph.D. student at the Video and Image Computing Lab (VICLab) at KAIST, advised by Prof. Munchurl Kim. I received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of the Philippines Los Baños in 2018. Currently, my research focuses on controllable image and video editing using generative models.

Outside of research, I enjoy street and portrait photography.
