Mission

• Leading the rapid development of AI technology to become a global expert and address various practical problems.

• We are looking for self-motivated graduate & undergraduate students. If you're interested, send an email to [jihyongoh@cau.ac.kr] with the following information: 

(1) full Curriculum Vitae (CV), (2) transcript (3) future plan & purpose, and (4) available participation time. 

Application for Graduate School

• We aim to cultivate excellent expertise in AI-based Computer Vision & Multimedia and practice through engaging in research, industry-university projects, studying on vacation, and participating in AI top-tier conferences including challenge competitions.

• If you are interested in pursuing graduate school, we recommend applying for lab internships at least 3~6 months in advance.

• Please note that becoming an expert in the AI research field typically requires 5 years for integrated PhD programs, 4 years for doctoral programs, and 2 years for master's programs.

• For students enrolled in integrated PhD programs or doctoral programs, we strongly encourage participating in AI top-tier conferences, presenting papers, and undertaking internships at domestic & global companies during the degree program.

Undergraduate Research Program

• It is designed for undergraduate students who have a keen interest in pursuing graduate courses in the field of AI-based Computer Vision & Multimedia. It offers study and lab-independent education programs similar to those available to graduate students.

• If a seat is available in the lab, selected undergraduate students will be provided with a dedicated workspace for the duration of their participation. The priority is how well you know the below Prerequisites (excluding "Advanced").

• Furthermore, if a graduate student is working on a topic of interest within the lab, the undergraduate research student may engage in mentoring and research activities in consultation with the graduate student.

Prerequisites (Recommended: please be aware before contacting)

Tips: [Googling!] If you encounter a concept or term that you are unfamiliar with, make sure to actively search for it on Google. There is no information that cannot be found through Google 🤩.
