I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Sogang University.  Before joining Sogang University in Fall 2021,  I spent two wonderful years as a Research Intern and then a Research Scientist at NAVER AI Lab, where I had the good fortune to work with Dongyoon Han, Sangdoo Yun, Seong Joon Oh, Sanghyuk Chun, Byeongho Heo, and Jung-Woo Ha.  I obtained my Ph.D. from the Yonsei University in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Hyunjung Shim, and my B.S. also from the Yonsei University in 2013.  

For prospective students/members: We do not have Intern/MS/PhD openings currently.

Research Interests

My recent research interest are in building a machine that can robustly understand the visual world only with minimal human supervision.  In particular, I am interested in learning from imperfect data, such as self-supervised, semi-supervised, and weakly-supervised learning for pattern recognition problems.
