Hyukjin Kim

M.S. Candidate, Computer Vision Lab, Yonsei University
Student Researcher at Visual Intelligence Group, KIST

I am an M.S. candidate in the Computer Vision Lab at Yonsei University, advised by Prof. Bumsub Ham. My research interests center on person re-identification, multimodal learning, vision-language models, and open-vocabulary object detection.

I received my B.S. in Electrical & Electronic Engineering from Yonsei University (after transferring from Inha University). As an undergraduate I built a wide range of deep-learning projects — from an award-winning open-vocabulary object detector to self-supervised representation learning. A selection is below, with the full list on the projects page.

Current research
My research interests focus on Multimodal Learning and Person Re-identification (ReID):
  • Multimodal Learning: Cross-modal representation learning and vision-language alignment.
  • Person Re-ID: Robust representation learning to overcome severe pose variations.
