I joined Apple in 2017, and I am currently a senior computer vision engineer in the 3D Vision team.
This page is no longer being updated.
I received my B.S, M.S and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from KAIST in 2010, 2012 and 2017 respectively. During my graduate studies, I worked at the Robotics and Computer Vision Lab under the supervision of Prof. In So Kweon. In 2012 and 2016, I worked as a Research Intern at FXPAL Inc, Palo Alto, CA and Oculus Research, Pittsburgh, PA, respectively. I received the Samsung HumanTech Paper Award and the Qualcomm Innovation Award in 2016.
