About Me

Hi, my name is Jaeik (Jake) Kim, and I am a student researcher specializing in ML and AI. I am an incoming integrated M.S. & Ph.D. student at the AIDAS (AI, Big Data, and System) Lab at Seoul National University (SNU), where I will be advised by Prof. Jaeyoung Do.

I am particularly interested in efficient and scalable approaches to vision and large language models (LLMs), especially in areas such as model merging, test-time adaptation, and continual learning.
