Junhyung Kim

I'm an undergraduate student in Applied Artificial Intelligence at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU).

Currently, I'm a researcher at the Data & Language Intelligence Laboratory (DLI), advised by Prof. YunSeok Choi, where I study knowledge distillation and multimodal fusion for efficient and interpretable AI systems.

Previously, I worked as a researcher at the Digital Environment Human Behavior Lab (DEHUB), advised by Prof. Daeho Lee, focusing on NLP-driven time-series forecasting.

I'm also grateful to have been selected as a Presidential Science Scholar, and I'm always open to collaboration and research discussions.
