I am a MS student in Computer Science at UC San Diego, where I am advised by Prof. Xiaolong Wang.
Before that, I received my BS in Urban Planning and Engineering and Computer Science and Engineering from Yonsei University.
During my undergraduate studies, I was advised by Prof. Jaesik Park at Seoul National University, and was an exchange student at the University of Toronto, where I worked with Prof. Florian Shkurti.

How to pronounce my name
My first name is pronounced "He-un-jin," with the "He-un" part spoken quickly. I'm also known as my nickname HJ, but I prefer to be called Hyunjin. My name in Korean is 김현진.
My research interests encompasses 3D computer vision, machine learning, and robotics. My research goal is to build computational models that can perceive and understand objects and environments as well as humans do. To this extent, my research focuses on developing efficient generalizable 3D/4D scene reconstruction methods and spatial 3D/4D scene reasoning methods for Embodied AI. I am also dedicated to Robotic Simulation and Multimodal Scene Reconstruction.
We introduce a reformulation of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) as a Metropolis-Hastings sampling process, replacing its heuristic-based densification with a probabilistic, adaptive mechanism.
We present CoT-SEP, which includes separators between exemplars in Chain-of-Thought Prompting. CoT-SEP enhances LLM's reasoning ability with the simplest setup.
