Sujin Jang, Ph.D.

AI|Computer Vision Researcher

Hello! I am a Principal Researcher at SAIT (Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology) in Suwon, South Korea. Previously, I was 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, focusing on the interaction between humans and machine learning. Throughout my research career, I have actively engaged in diverse areas of study, encompassing machine learning, human-computer interaction, visual analytics, and robotics. Currently at SAIT, my primary focus is on developing cutting-edge methodologies in self-supervised learning, domain generalization, and cross-modal representation learning for a variety of computer vision tasks within the field of autonomous driving.
