Student Researcher at AIBL Probabilistic Generative Models for Biomolecule Generation and Drug Design Designed stochastic interpolant-based sampling methods for drug optimization and integrating physics-aware constraints for structure-based drug design. Derived and implemented the ACE framework for multi-expert diffusion steering, fixing Marginal Path Collapse via the Path Existence Criterion. Authored a grant proposal and secured funding for a 3-year international joint research project between SNU and Harvard Medical School (Prof. Kwang-Soo Kim). Co-first authored multiple papers on applications of diffusion models in computer vision and molecular modeling.	2024.10 - present
