Hyungjun Yoon

Ph.D. Student @ KAIST | Microsoft Research Intern
I am a Ph.D. student in Networking & Mobile Systems Lab at KAIST, advised by Professor Sung-Ju Lee. Currently, I'm doing research internship at Microsoft Research, mentored by Professor Lili Qiu. I'm interested in Applied Machine Learning, Mobile Sensing, and Foundation Models including Large Language Models. I enjoy exploring how the techniques can be used for real-world problems.
