Kyoung Mu Lee is an Korean Computer Scientist and a pioneer of artificial neural networks and deep learning in Korea. He is currently a professor at Seoul National University. Previously, he was a professor at Hongik University. He was awarded the 63th Samil Prize, Medal of Merit from Korean Government, Korean Scientist and Engineer of the Month Award from Ministry of Science and ICT of Korea, and Sinyang Engineering Academy Award. He is now an Editor-in-chief (EIC) of the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI).[1]. He also served as a General Chair of International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) 2019[2], which was held in Seoul, Korea. The most notable works throughout his career spans in Image restoration by artificial intelligence field such as VDSR[3], EDSR[4], and GoPro dataset[5] that are published in top-tier computer vision conferences.
Early life and education
Kyoung Mu Lee received his Bachelor of Science degree, MSc (control and instrumentation engineering) from Seoul National University in 1984 and 1986, and PhD (electrical engineering) from the University of Southern California in 1993.
Career and research
After completing his PhD, Kyoung Mu Lee served as a Research Associate at the Signal & Image Processing Institute, University of Southern California, from 1993 to 1994. He then joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at Hongik University as an Assistant/Associate Professor, where he worked from 1995 to 2003. Since 2003, he has been a faculty member at Seoul National University, where he is currently a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering[6].
At Seoul National University, Lee has held numerous leadership positions, including Director of the Research Support Center (2009–2011) and Vice Dean for Research Affairs in the College of Engineering (2009–2011). He also served as Director of the Automation and Systems Research Institute (ASRI) from 2012 to 2014. Since 2020, Lee has been the Director of the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Artificial Intelligence at Seoul National University.
Lee’s contributions extend beyond academia. He has served as Distinguished Lecturer of the Asia-Pacific Signal and Information Processing Association (APSIPA) for 2012-2013[7]. He was the Associate Editor-in-chief of the prestigious IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI) from 2014 to 2019 and has played a prominent role in the global computer vision community. He served as the General Chair for ACM Multimedia (MM) 2018, the Asian Conference on Computer Vision (ACCV) 2018, and the IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) 2019. Lee was also President of the Korean Computer Vision Society (KCVS) from 2018 to 2021.
Among his accolades, Lee has been a Fellow of IEEE since 2021[8][9] and a member of both the Korean Academy of Science and Technology (KAST)[10] and the National Academy of Engineering of Korea (NAEK) since 2020. His research spans computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, and he has significantly contributed to advancing these fields on both theoretical and applied fronts with over 45,000 citations in total measured by Google Scholar[11]
