Hi. I am currently pursuing my Ph.D in Computer Science, with a research focus on Vision and Language, and Generative Modelling, in Visual Computing Center (VCC) at KAUST. I am a member of Vision-CAIR Research Group led by Mohamed Elhoseiny.

Apart from research, I am also passionate about AI art, Chess.

Previously: I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Sejong University (South Korea), Master’s Degree in Computer Science from KAUST (Saudi Arabia).

Research Interests: Affective Vision and Language, Generative Modelling
