About

I build multimodal models for human communication — sign language translation and alignment, talking-face generation, and audio-visual large language models.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at VGG, University of Oxford, working with Andrew Zisserman. I received my Ph.D. and M.S. from KAIST, advised by Joon Son Chung and In So Kweon.
