About Me
👋 Hi! I’m Kiyoung Om, a Master’s student at the Graduate School of Data Science at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). I’m currently working in the System Intelligence Lab under the supervision of Professor Jinkyoo Park. Here’s my CV
My research bridges cutting-edge generative models (Diffusion Models, Flow-based Models) with sequential decision-making (Reinforcement Learning, Black-box optimization). I develop algorithms that learn complex probability distributions and leverage them to make optimal decisions under uncertainty. This interdisciplinary approach combines theoretical advancements with practical solutions to challenging real-world problems.
Additionally, I am passionate about the alignment of generative models—including LLMs and diffusion models—with desired objectives. My work explores advanced search techniques and fine-tuning strategies to guide these models toward reliable, goal-oriented behavior, bridging the gap between theoretical innovation and real-world impact.
