I received my B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from Yonsei University.
Before joining Sangmyung University, I was a researcher at Sejong University, UNC Chapel Hill, and LG Electronics.
My research interests include various GPU techniques, such as real-time ray tracing, texture compression, etc.
If you are considering either a research collaboration with me or joining our lab, please feel free to contact me.
