Emil Kim

Busan, South Korea

Hello! My name is Emil. I am currently a second-year M.S. candidate in the IC&ML Lab, Graduate School of AI, Pusan National University. Before starting my graduate studies, I obtained my B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering at Pusan National University.

I spend most of my time exploring biosignals, multimodal representation learning, and medical image analysis — usually with too many tabs open and a GPU running somewhere.

My research interest lies in:

Biosignal analysis (EEG, ECG)
Multimodal representation learning (EEG-to-fMRI Translation)
Foundation models for biomedical data
Medical Image Analysis

Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to take a look around, browse my research journey, and if you think we could build something interesting together, don’t hesitate to reach out. :)
