About Me
👋 Hi, I’m Chanuk Lee, a junior undergraduate student at KAIST School of Computing.
I’m currently advised by Prof. Sung Ju Hwang at the KAIST MLAI Lab.
My research interests primarily lie in LLM post-training, including RLVR and distillation, but I am broadly interested in efficient and scalable learning for language models.
Recently, my work has focused on exploration in LLM reinforcement learning. Here is my CV.
