Jaeyeul Kim
I am an assistant professor in the Division of Computer Engineering and Artificial Intelligence at Pukyong National University (PKNU), Busan, South Korea, where I lead the Robot Vision Lab.
Before joining PKNU in September 2026, I was a postdoctoral researcher at DGIST, South Korea, working on autonomous driving with Prof. Sunghoon Im at the DGIST Computer Vision Lab, where I received my Ph.D. in February 2026.
Specifically, I have worked on LiDAR-based segmentation, detection, tracking, and forecasting. My current research interest is in autonomous vehicle planning. From April to October 2024 I was a visiting researcher at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, US.
