Ph. D. Candidate
Yonsei University
I'm Junyong, a Ph.D. candidate at Yonsei University working with Prof. Shiho Kim. I have a dual interest that keeps my brain busy: making machines smarter with Machine Learning and exploring the future of computation with Quantum Computing.
My true talent isn't writing code, but figuring out what to write. Python is my go-to for the execution part. And how do I come up with the ideas? I'm a firm believer in "beer-storming" over brainstorming.
