About Me

I am Phillip (Yuseung) Lee, a first year PhD student at KAIST Graduate School of AI, advised by Prof. Minhyuk Sung. I was also fortunate to have closely collaborated with Prof. Leonidas Guibas. I received both my M.S. and my B.S. degree at KAIST.

My research interests revolve around enhancing the spatial control and understanding of large foundation models. Specifically, I have worked on enhancing the spatial control of diffusion models for image generation, and advancing the spatial reasoning capabilities of vision-language models (VLMs).

For details, refer to my Curriculum Vitae (CV).
