Jeongsoo Park

I am a fourth-year CS PhD student at Cornell Tech, advised by Prof. Andrew Owens.

I am broadly interested in computer vision and machine learning. My current research interests include multimodal generation, vision-language models, visual forensics, and efficient deep learning.

I moved with my advisor from the University of Michigan to Cornell Tech in Fall 2025. Previously, I received my M.S. in ECE from Michigan, advised by Prof. Justin Johnson, and my B.S. from Sungkyunkwan University, advised by Prof. Jong Hwan Ko.

Research Interests

I am interested in generating, understanding, and authenticating multimedia content, and making these systems more efficient.

Multimodal generation
Generating images, videos, and audio-visual content with meaningful control.
Vision-language models
Connecting visual understanding with language and reasoning.
Visual forensics
Understanding the origins and authenticity of visual content.
Efficient deep learning
Reducing the cost of training, inference, and data processing.
