I’m Seongwon Lee, a assistant professor in the School of Electrical Engineering at Kookmin University. I am currently the principal investigator of the Computational Intelligence Lab (CILAB). Previously, I was a researcher in the Visual Intelligence Laboratory at ETRI. Before that, I received my Ph.D. and B.S. degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Yonsei University in 2023 and 2016, respectively, advised by Professor Euntai Kim.

I am interested in building algorithms and machines that can understand the world and communicate with humans. My research focuses on learning deep networks that can solve a wide range of problems using a few general interfaces.
