I am an assistant professor in Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU). Prior to this, I worked at LG AI Research as a Research Scientist and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) as a Postdoctoral Researcher. I completed my Ph.D. degree in the School of Electrical Engineering at KAIST, advised by Prof. Jinwoo Shin.

I am interested in improving the efficiency of deep learning. Specifically, my research has focused on data-efficient deep learning, including self-supervised learning, few-shot learning, and transfer learning. I am also interested in solving real-world problems on various data domains such as computer vision, chemistry, and tabular data.

Efficient Learning Lab (ELL) at SKKU. I am currently looking for self-motivated graduate students and undergraduate interns with a strong interest in the area of deep learning. If you are interested in joining our lab, send me an email with your transcript and CV.

ELL's homepage is now open! Visit it for latest updates and information.
