I am a Post-doctoral researcher in the THOTH research team, based at the Inria Grenoble-Rhône-Alpes under the supervision of Karteek Alahari. Before joining INRIA, I was a Ph.D student at POSTECH computer vision lab, advised by prof. Minsu Cho. My primary research interest is video understanding, especially video representation learning and its applications.
