Juil Koo

Bio

I am Juil Koo, a second-year PhD student in the KAIST Visual AI Group, led by Prof. Minhyuk Sung. This summer, I joined Adobe Research as an intern, closely collaborating with Duygu Ceylan, Paul Guerrero and Chun-Hao Huang.

My research interests primarily revolve around stochastic differential equations and 3D geometry. Recently, I've been focusing on understanding and leveraging the rich prior of diffusion models to unlock their potential in diverse applications. Prior to this, I mainly worked on the intersection between 3D geometry and language. My research aims to address practical problems through theoretical insights.

My Erdős number is 3 (Juil Koo → Leonidas Guibas → Frances Yao → Paul Erdős).
