Current focus
Model-based vision systems
Building deep unrolling methods for defocus deblurring, joint low-light enhancement, and physically grounded image restoration.
Research Scientist / Computer Vision / Seoul
Research Scientist at KC Machine Learning Lab (ML2)
I work on computer vision and deep learning, with a focus on image restoration problems such as deblurring, low-light enhancement, and HDR imaging.
I received my M.S. from CILAB at Pukyong National University, and my B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Hanoi University of Science and Technology. I am always open to new opportunities and collaborations.
Current focus
Building deep unrolling methods for defocus deblurring, joint low-light enhancement, and physically grounded image restoration.
Recent milestone
My recent work on error-aware deep unrolling for single-image defocus deblurring was accepted to the NeurIPS workshop on Constrained Optimization for Machine Learning.
Open to
I enjoy connecting on research collaborations, applied computer vision projects, and industry-facing work that benefits from rigorous vision models.
