Wonjun Hwang received both B.S. and M.S. degrees from the Department of Electronics Engineering, Korea University, Republic of Korea, in 1999 and 2001, respectively, and Ph.D. degree in the School of Electrical Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Republic of Korea, in 2016. From 2001 to 2008, he was a research staff member in Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT), Republic of Korea. In 2004, he contributed to the promotion of Advanced Face Descriptor, Samsung and NEC joint proposal, to MPEG-7 international standardization. In 2006, he proposed the SAIT face recognition method which achieved the best accuracy under the uncontrolled illumination situation at Face Recognition Grand Challenge (FRGC) and Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT). In 2006, he developed the real-time face recognition engine for the Samsung cellular phone, SGH-V920. From 2009 to 2011, he was a senior engineer in Samsung Electronics, Republic of Korea, where he worked on developing the face and gesture recognition methods for Samsung humanoid robot, a.k.a RoboRay. In 2011, he rejoined the SAIT as a research staff member. From 2011 to 2014, he worked for the 3D medical image processing of Samsung surgical robot. From 2014 to 2016, he worked on developing the deep learning-based face detection and recognition methods for Samsung Galaxy series. He joined the Department of Software and Computer Engineering, Ajou University, Republic of Korea, in 2016, where he is currently an associate professor. His research interests are in computer vision, pattern recognition, and deep learning.
