Sujin Jang, Ph.D.

AI|Computer Vision Researcher

Hello! I am a Principal Researcher at Samsung AI Center (ex-SAIT AI Center) in Suwon, South Korea. Previously, I worked as a Machine Learning Researcher at Motorola Mobility LLC in Chicago, IL. Before that, I completed my Ph.D. at Purdue University under the guidance of Dr. Karthik Ramani, where I explored the interaction between humans and machine learning models, focusing on user-driven machine learning [J1,C3,C4], gestural user interfaces [C2], and the biomechanical analyses of gestural interactions [J2,C5]. More recently, my focus has shifted toward advancing multi-modal 3D scene understanding [C7-C10] , cross-modal representation learning [C7,C8], and addressing domain shift problems [C6,C8,C9] in computer vision and robotic tasks. At a fundamental level, I am deeply interested in exploring the human-like adaptability and generalizability of physical AI agents capable of solving complex real-world problems, such as autonomous driving and robotic manipulation.
