Hyunjin Kim

I am a MS student in Computer Science at UC San Diego, where I am advised by Prof. Xiaolong Wang. I will also be joining Nokia Bell Labs this summer as a Research Intern.

Previously, I received my BS from Yonsei University. During my undergraduate studies, I was advised by Prof. Jaesik Park at Seoul National University.

Research
My research lies at the intersection of 3D/4D computer vision and robotics, where I aim to build computational systems capable of human-like scene understanding. These systems perceive complex environments and construct world models that capture both visual appearance and physical dynamics. My current research focus is on physics-grounded world models and their applications to robot manipulation and navigation.
