Hello, 안녕하세요 👋

I am a M.S. student at the Graduate School of Data Science, Seoul National University, where I work in the Data Intelligence and Learning (DIAL) Lab under Prof. Hyunwoo Park.

My current interest is agentic AI. In particular, I work on using on-policy self-distillation and on-policy reinforcement learning to make long-horizon, tool-using agents more reliable. I am also interested in generative methods such as diffusion and flow matching, and in how they carry across multiple modalities.

You can reach me at sunghobae@snu.ac.kr, or take a look at my CV.
