Minhyuk Seo

I'm a Research Associate in ESAT-PSI Lab at KU Leuven, advised by Prof. Tinne Tuytelaars. My research focuses on efficient training and personalization of large foundation models under distribution shifts.

During my M.S., I was fortunate to work as a research intern at the Advanced Machine Learning team in LG AI research (2023).

I received my M.S. degree in Computer Science at Yonsei University under the supervision of Prof. Jonghyun Choi and B.S. degree in Computer Science from the same university.
