Assistant Professor
EECS & AI Department @ DGIST

About

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at DGIST. I am also honored to have been selected as a Distinguished Professor. Additionally, I am affiliated with the Artificial Intelligence Major in Interdisciplinary Studies. I serve as the Director of the Computation Efficient Learning Lab (CELL), where my group focuses on designing alternative, efficient learning methodologies inspired by brain-like hyperdimensional computing for lightweight and on-device AI. We are also exploring the application of state-of-the-art learning solutions, such as deep learning, to build future systems.
