About Me

I am Hwidong Kim, a second-year M.S. student at KAIST, advised by Prof. Tae-Kyun (T-K) Kim.

My research interests lie in video generation, with a focus on producing physically plausible videos that faithfully reflect real-world physical dynamics. Recently, I have been working toward more generic scenarios, leveraging explicit physics simulators or implicit priors from vision-language models (VLMs).
