Biography
Seungyul Han is an assistant professor in the Artificial Intelligence Graduate School (AIGS) and in the department of Electrical Engineering (EE) at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST). He received B.S. (Double major in Mathematical Science) and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Daejeon, South Korea in 2013 and 2016, respectively. He also received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from KAIST. Prior to joining UNIST, he was an postdoctoral researcher at Institute of Information Electronics in KAIST, and he is now an assistant professor in UNIST. His main research interests include reinforcement learning, machine learning, deep learning, multi-agent systems, signal processing, and intelligent control systems.
Research Areas
The research of our group focuses on the development of breakthrough machine learning (ML) algorithms, theoretical improvements based on mathematics, and real-world ML applications for industrial automation. In order to conduct influential research in the core areas of artificial intelligence (AI), we mainly consider the following research topics:
- Reinforcement Learning
- Robust/Safe Learning
- Domain Adaptation/Imitation Learning
- Multi-Agent Systems
- Statistical Learning
- Intelligent Control systems
- Signal Processing
Research Summary: Exploration and Exploitation Methods for Reinforcement Learning
- We are currently looking for highly motivated interns, M.S., Ph.D., and Combined M.S./Ph.D. students in machine learning fields !
