Byoungwoo Park

Visiting Scholar @ NYU | PhD student @ KAIST

Hi! I am a PhD student at KAIST advised by Juho Lee. I am currently visiting scholar at NYU. Previously, I was visiting scholar at Georgia Tech, where I worked with Yongxin Chen. Before that, I worked with Guan-Horng Liu.

I have recently developed an interest in Physical AI and world models, with a focus on autoregressive generation of videos. This interest builds on my earlier research in GenAI and AI4Science, particularly probabilistic modeling of temporal dynamics. In that work, I drew on dynamic optimal transport and stochastic optimal control to develop theoretically sound yet practical methods.
