Soojin Choi

Hello, I am a Ph.D. student in Visual Media Lab at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), advised by Prof. Junyong Noh.

My research focuses on advancing character animation techniques, with a particular emphasis on deep learning-based 3D full-body motion retargeting and automatic rigging and skinning. Through my work, I aim to contribute to more efficient and high-quality animation production for the film and animation industries.

Open to Work I am currently open to industry research internship opportunities. I would be glad to connect with research teams working in related areas and discuss potential opportunities for collaboration.
