Donggyun Kim
Postdoctoral Researcher @ KAIST
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the KAIST Information & Electronics Research Institute, working as an InnoCore postdoc member of the AI Meta-Scientist Research Center. Previously, I was a visiting scholar at the Agentic AI Learning Lab, collaborating with Prof. Mengye Ren. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from KAIST in February 2026, advised by Prof. Seunghoon Hong.
My research focuses on few-shot learning, meta-learning, generalist models, and efficient adaptation, toward building general-purpose AI.
