Minbeom Kim
Hi! I am a final year Ph.D candidate at Seoul National University advised by Prof. Kyomin Jung and a student researcher at Google. I also have also interned at LawZero and NAVER Labs Europe .
My research centers on Safe and Controllable AI systems:
-
RL & its variant algorithms — decoding-time alignments (CriticControl, AdvisorQA, Drift) and RLVR theory (GUARD),
-
Construction of safety datasets (LifeTox) and benchmarks (AdvisorQA, VLind-Bench),
-
And its applications to AI agents (ReflAct, Syntra) and practical deployments (SumGD, CCI, Drift).
In particular, I’m interested in how to prevent harm from misalignment in future, more capable AI Agents.
Please feel free to reach out to me for a discussion here minbeomkim@snu.ac.kr!
📍 I am currently seeking Research Scientist positions (or equivalent roles) starting in mid-2026.
