Hello, I'm Jiwon Kang

I am an Integrated M.S./Ph.D. student at KAIST AI (Kim Jaechul Graduate School of AI), advised by Seungryong Kim (CVLAB). My research focuses on generative models — particularly diffusion- and flow-based methods — and their applications across vision, 3D, and multimodal domains. I am broadly interested in Diffusion & Generative AI (guidance, sampling, image/audio generation), 3D Vision (novel view synthesis, NeRF, Gaussian Splatting), and Unified Multimodal Models.
