Youngwoon Lee
Ph.D. Candidate
University of Southern California
I am currently on the academic job market!
I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student at University of Southern California advised by Joseph J. Lim. My research interests are in deep reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and simulation-to-real transfer for robotics. Particularly, I focus on developing scalable and compositional robot learning algorithms that make robots learn complex long-horizon tasks by incorporating prior knowledge and data.
In Summer 2020, I have interned with Yuke Zhu and Anima Anandkumar at NVIDIA Research. I also have interned at NAVER CLOVA (2021) and SKT T-Brain (2018) over the summers. Before joining USC, I received B.S. and M.S. degrees in computer science from KAIST advised by Sung-Eui Yoon.
