Hello, world!

I’m Kirak Kim.

I’m a MS student at Music and Audio Computing Lab, KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology).

My research interests lie in the integration of the metaverse and artificial intelligence.

I’m currently working on developing an audio-to-motion model and applying it to virtual environments.

I love music including K-pop and hyperpop. And I enjoy cycling and whiskey ;-)
