Chaelin Kim


Hello! I'm a Ph.D. candidate in the Visual Media Lab at KAIST, advised by Prof. Junyong Noh. My research interests lie in computer graphics and character animation, including motion control, retargeting, stylization, editing, rigging, and so on. I am particularly interested in developing techniques that transfer human intent and motion to diverse digital characters and enable their expressive control, with the goal of advancing character animation technologies for films and games.
