Hanbyul Joo is an associate professor in Computer Science and Engineering at Seoul National University with nine years of research and industry experience bridging robotics, computer vision, and machine learning. After earning a Ph.D. in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon, he spent formative years as a research scientist at Facebook AI and internships at Oculus VR and Disney Research, developing practical expertise in perception and human-centered AI. He has a strong academic pedigree from KAIST and ETRI, and his career blends deep theoretical work with applied systems that have been deployed or prototyped in industry settings. Known for moving between lab and product teams, he brings a researcher’s rigor to real-world problems and mentorship, supervising students while advancing cross-disciplinary projects. An understated strength is his ability to translate robotics and vision research into scalable software artifacts that inform both publications and practical prototypes.
