Hello

Profile Image

I am Seonho Lee (Griffin Sunho Lee in the US). I am a M.S. student at KAIST AI, majoring in Artificial Intelligence. I am working as an AI graduate researcher at Computer Vision and Machine Learning Lab at KAIST, advised by Prof. Hyunjung Shim.


I am interested in research on AI especially in Computer vision. I hope to use AI to help people freely envision, realize, and share what they believe in.


Particularly, I am researching on the following topics:

1. Generative AI

2. Vision-Language Understanding
