Sooyoung Jeon

My name is Sooyoung Jeon and I am an incoming Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering student at Boston University, advised by Prof. Wei-Lun (Harry) Chao.

I am broadly interested in Computer Vision and Machine Learning, and their application to autonomous driving and robotics.

Previously, I received my M.S. and B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering degree from The Ohio State University.
