Summary
Donghoon Ahn is a computer vision researcher and incoming PhD student at UC Berkeley—advised by Alexei Efros—specializing in generative models with a deep focus on diffusion-based image, video, and 3D generation. As an undergraduate researcher at Korea University and KAIST, he contributed to NeurIPS 2023 and ECCV 2024 papers exploring score debiasing, attention-guided sampling, and geometry-aware score distillation, reflecting a blend of theoretical and practical research. He brings nine years of technical experience including building Spring-based intranet systems during military service, demonstrating an unusual mix of production engineering and cutting-edge ML research. Donghoon is driven by the idea of embedding physical inductive biases into generative models to improve real-world consistency and personalization, and is actively seeking PhD lab collaborations starting next fall.
