Yekyung Kim

Hi! I am a third-year PhD student at the University of Maryland, CLIP Lab, advised by Mohit Iyyer, with a research focus on natural language processing. My work lies at the intersection of evaluation and alignment in long-context scenarios. I initially started my PhD at UMass NLP and later transferred to UMD along with my advisor.

Before starting my PhD, I worked at Hyundai Motors Group and LG Electronics as a research engineer. I was selected as a specialist in AI and conducted research at CMU LTI as a visiting scientist mentored by Jaime Carbonell.
