I’m a Master’s researcher at the Intelligent Robotics & Computer Vision Lab, Hanyang University, working on vision-centric autonomous driving.
My current research focuses on Gaussian Splatting for autonomous driving and Online Mapping, asking how modern 3D scene representations can reshape the next generation of perception and planning.

Swin-Trajectory
Vision-based End-to-End Driving · Waymo Open Dataset Challenge (CVPR 2025)
A minimalist transformer-based waypoint planner that takes a single front-facing camera and structured ego-vehicle history as input. A lightweight Swin Transformer backbone cross-attends to dynamic waypoint queries to efficiently regress future trajectories, competitive with much heavier multi-sensor baselines.
Deep thanks to my teammates, my supervisor, and RideFlux for technical support and collaboration.
