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:

  1. RL & its variant algorithms β€” decoding-time alignments (CriticControl, SumGD, Drift) and constrained optimization (GUARD),

  2. Construction of safety datasets (LifeTox) and benchmarks (AdvisorQA, VLind-Bench),

  3. And its applications to AI agents (ReflAct, Syntra) and practical deployments (CCI, Drift).

Please feel free to reach out to me for a discussion here minbeomkim@snu.ac.kr!

πŸ“ I am currently seeking Research Scientist positions (or equivalent roles) starting in mid-2026.
