Youngwoon Lee
Ph.D. Candidate
University of Southern California
I am a sixth-year Ph.D. student at USC advised by Joseph J. Lim, and currently visiting Pieter Abbeel's lab at UC Berkeley. 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.
